Hazy muggy waterfalls
Of blackening lava
Trickle down the sides of my mind
Constricting my thought flow
Paralyzing my mind.
In a crowded room
Everyone is an assassin.
Eyes seem a threat,
Conversation stifling.
My handshake
Limp and clammy
Reads me,
Weakens me still.
Smiles lie,
The grimace behind
each one weighs me down
As I float towards indifference.
