My head is a car wreck
all sharp edges painful brightness
razor blades screeching wheels
rusted edges steel on steel
chaos blood pain terror
thought-snippets nattering and chattering
scraping and scratching
trying to get out
tight jaw gray pallor heart in throat
out of body floating am I dead will I die?
was I ever alive?
brain flashing danger signs
knotted intestines
startle tremble shake and quake
suspicious paranoid hypervigilant
Take me to the junkyard I can’t be fixed
Go away go away go away go away no wait don’t go hold my hand
help me help me
help me God help me someone anyone
Save me wake me up get me outta here
wrap me up in peaceful dreams
when I finish out this nightmare
You evoke some pretty powerful imagery here.

Jesus this is powerful! Raw and honest! I love it. I’m stuck in a depression so I know this feeling all too well right now.

It describes those “black mornings” I seem to have at least once a week. (I wrote a post about that about a week ago, called My Dark Thoughts.
