I wish I understood

I wish I could help

Does it go any good?

It’s making me whelp

You’re falling like a rock

Tumbling off a cliff

I’m trying to take stock

But I’m rigid and stiff

Fear has taken hold

It tears through my heart

My body icy cold

As my brain’s ripped apart

How can you not see

What’s right before your eyes

You fill our lives with glee

Brighten up the skies

But then comes the dark

And it holds you tight

Extinguishes the spark

Blanketing the light

Like cancer it will spread

A force of it’s own

Filling you with dread

From the skin to the bone

I can’t bear to watch

As your life implodes

The spreading blotch

And normality explodes

The whirlpool draws down

Now I’m losing my balance

My sense spinning around

As out come the talons

Can you learn to accept

It doesn’t have to be like this?

But I feel so inept

As we head for the abyss

So, this has to stop

And break the system

It’s time to swap

Don’t be the victim

You are who you are

Stop trying to please

Set your own bar

End this disease
