Shadows of the Mind

Hidden and covered  
New lands discovered  
In the shadows of my mind  
The secrets I've kept  
My thoughts have wept  
Struggling searching to find  
 
Knowledge or memories  
Anything familiar to me  
To remind me who I am  
To help me communicate  
Refresh or illuminate  
Failing this mental exam  
 
My mind has slipped  
My life it's stripped  
Of every moment I've enjoyed  
While cloudiness replaced  
A flavor of distaste  
I'm agitated and annoyed  
 
My forgotten recollection  
Imbalanced imperfection  
I'm empty and abstractly blind  
This sickness has cost  
Thoughts shuffled and lost  
In the shadows of my mind
