Out Of My Head
If I could ever
meet a deadline,
it would probably
make the headlines
I'm coming unglued—
trying to hold it together
but this cold, winter weather
is biting through to the bone
they say birds of a feather
band together,
but I'm a lone wolf
just stranded in the desert
oh, flocking howl!
I cry fowl
as I throw in the towel;
I'm quitting cold turkey
and I'm starting right now!
psyche
falling deeper and deeper
into an endless spiral
a depression, my regression
into this viscous cycle
trying to stay disinfected
'cause this shit's gone viral,
feeling so disconnected
I need to check my vitals
brimming with this dread
in my private sanitarium,
swimming in my head
like a fish in an aquarium
I mine my mind for precious ore
picking at my cranium,
I'm radioactive to the core
like barium or uranium
I'm beginning to feel a little sick,
better call the doctor quick;
while you're sitting there
spellbound,
I'm headed for a meltdown
meet a deadline,
it would probably
make the headlines

Author's Note
Kind of a freestyle poem... a little silly at times, but reflecting real feelings. Just writing from the top of my head. Sometimes I get overwhelmed 😥
I wasn't entirely pleased with it, but I'm posting it anyway.

It takes a brave soul to throw caution and splay your emotions for all to see, NB. Your courage is rare, as most (like myself) are too chicken shit to bare ourselves like that. I'm in awe. YOU, and your beautiful bravery show just how much of a struggle depression and anxiety is. That it's real, it's human and it's basically universal. That crushing sense and feeling toxic??... it may vary in degrees, but everyone has an experience or a difficulty(ies) with dealing or sorting through those types of deep clawing emotions. I thank you for going against instinct and posting this...
Feelings of not being alone and kinship are important,especially in today's world.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm grateful.

Dear NB,
“ trying to stay disinfected
'cause this shit's gone viral,
feeling so disconnected
I need to check my vitals ” the isolation of this wretched situation has sunk its bite into everyone. Some days I feel like maybe I did die and just didn’t know enough to lie down. But no, still feel a pulse...
Absolutely related to each stanza and the rawness. I admire that you captured these thoughts as bits of insight. I found this extremely helpful in my own little world. The power of your write is far reaching. H🌷
