Pitter-patter goes the rain The more it drips the more I feign Withering from all that forms reality Bordering on pure irrationality Could it all be just a dream These bright-colored lights that bounce and gleam Forming rainbows and emitting reflections Dancing around in every direction Hopelessly capturing my every attention Causing my thoughts to scatter in dissension Slipping and sliding upon the pavement Guiding my consciousness to the verge of enslavement Nipping at the roots of my existence Drawing me under in increasing persistence Slowly burning the embers of reason Forbidding the separate parts of my body allegiance Comprehension so far and too hard to reach This heavy silence nothing sane can breach Exhaustion births as my emotions swell Realization emerges...this must be Hell!
