I step into the fire
But do not see the flames.
All I feel is the desire
To kiss the pain away.
This burning freeze
Like a Texan breeze
All over the ground
Beneath me.
The floor is lava
And I, a glacier
Causing steam to rise up
And challenge me.
The reality of this
Be not reality, but my head.
My disorder is screaming
And having me thinking
Of such horrible things-
It has me reeling.
Laying deathly still in bed
All the while, writhing in my head
Fighting to get my brain back.
All efforts are useless
And I have been through this
A million more than I can count.
I'd rather be dreaming
Of more pleasant things than screaming.
Like breathing, the sun, and joy.
But all I see,
When I close my eyes
Is chaos as Queen
And everyone dies.
This was the poem that started it all. intrusive thoughts are exactly that. Intrusive.
