The disease crept silently
It took over my thoughts
It eroded me and left me cruelly
Depressed and stupid
Gone the wisdom of perseverance
In came irrational doubt
And I lie in self pity
Emotional and foolish
Everything floats in darkness
People don’t feel right
And trust slips in the distance
Steadily and slowly
And I wander in ruthlessness
With this disease that destroys me
Eating away my mind
Gradually and patiently
