past days spent in my head I couldn't get away from me in there
the world seeming one dimensional and nearly out of reach
unable to ask for help some invisible barrier I couldn't breach
so I sat soaking in angst waiting for the fissures in the veneer

readying self for escape from a clouded state of numbed mind
waking in head splitting pain from forgotten dreams I'm haunted
through frowning brow I tackle the day lack lustre
