Have you ever woken in the dead reprieve of night

Where darkness holds you captive, reality the only light

A troubled mind so focused that will cannot deter

From the crisp and crystal clarity with boundaries such a blur

That coldness seeping from your heart to chill your very soul

A suffocating sense of dread that reason won't control

Panic's clasping manacles stir instinct's need to flee

Decisions bombard rationale but none seem to agree

So there you lie a volunteer, solitary now confined

No sanctuary, no haven, no escaping from you mind

Distraction's the only course I say, negative must be banned

Act swiftly, with determined grasp, and take yourself in hand!
