Caustic Vertigo
Suddenly surrounded by a gripping fear
Stillness brings not rest but terror
A realization donning
Vortex is a swarming void
That contains paralyzing scenes
Of pain consequence rivers grim
In a panic I am thrust
Through a crevice of doubt and mistrust
Generating claustrophobic
Respiration constriction
Self control is fading
Violent current tearing me
Forcing applications of dissolving lust
Nothing I've become in this caustic vertigo
Disbelief my senses weaken
Drowning in a whirlpool
Preparation disregarded
By consuming presence
Rapid pulse becomes arrhythmic
Fingers letting go slipping away
My eyes are sewn shut but I see
Endless atrocities that may soon come to be
I must not capsize like victims of hindsight
A derelict descends to the deep the dark
Helpless to resist this caustic vertigo
Fighting failing breath
Falling goals not met
Panic overwhelming
Tremors cardiac arrest
Generating claustrophobic
Respiration constriction
Self control is fading
As I plummet towards the edge
Psychotropic dissonance is
Forcing applications of my deepest fears
