Eating Anguish

Monday, healthy but feeling diseased
The mind exists but can't be appeased
Blame a body that's been ever functioning
Disregard the holes the brain's been puncturing

Thursday, it's the sound of an increasing pressure
Tinnitus explodes into a burning sleep deprivation
Can't control what's been provoked by nagging dread
Control has been lost, madness slowly takes its stead

The pain is everywhere, and the culprit remains undetected
Triggered, angered, the pain is from the body disconnected
Distrust the conclusions of trained professionals as horrid consequences
Plunge delirious self into frenzied, paganic transes

But the ridiculous mistakes slowly fade and you wake in the afterglow
Slowly reeling and feeling foolish to have fallen to the toxic flow
Echoes fly as the past doesn't seem to lie, but you no longer die
It's life, clawing back its way with time to spare the frantic mind
