(un)Captured

It’s over my head now
Can’t touch the bottom
Before I could stand
But now I’m just rotten

It manifests itself
In all forms and fashions
Exhaustion and pain
Captured all of my passions

I look to the skies
For guidance and truth
Attempting to get back
My eviscerated youth

Face is on fire
From all the labored breathing
I need an oxygen mask
To fall from the ceiling

Glimpse of my reflection
A mammoth in the mirror
Disgusted and sad
How’d it get so severe

Doctors and insurers
Say they’ve all got your back
Instead they kick you around
Like a used hacky sack

Swirling in circles
Inside life’s giant funnel
Hoping to find light
At the end of the tunnel

So here I am God
I’m down here I’m kneeling
Please lift me up
So I can finally start healing
