Jagged Edges of My Mind

A cacophony of shadows,

and all I feel is fear.

Terrorized by the grayness

enveloping my mind

in whorls and jagged edges

without beginning

or end.

For I cannot remember

who I am

or where I belong.

I once

was somebody

of that I am certain

but now

I am drifting

on a sea

of lost memories.

I glance

at my reflection

in the pool

of water

but no one

stares back.

I am invisible

to myself

and to others.

I am insignificant

and have no value

to anyone

that matters.

I struggle to listen

but cannot hear

the dissonance

of fear but

I know it is there

because I can sense

its shadows.
