Unraveled

The walls shift, uneven and wrong

I count, I check, but nothing holds.

Each thought spirals faster, tighter

Fraying edges of a world I con't grip.

Control slips like sand through my fingers

Every flaw glaring, too loud to ignore.

I chase perfection, but it mocks me,

Until I'm tangled in the chaos

Of a mind unraveling.
