Poison
I feel like I'm on a bad trip.
Poisoned, spiraling out of reality,
spiralling out of control.
Press replay and I am back to the start
everything is calm,
until it starts to go backwards.
Going in and out of my mind;
all I can see is colors fading
and melting together-but I'm falling apart.

I wrote this as an activity for my creative writing class, we watched a very abstract music video and were told to write about it. I think it could be relatable to anyone who has ever felt out of touch with reality.
