Anhedonia

I stand paralyzed, transfixed, inanimate
A breathless statue, a mere silhouette
A slave to the masters beneath the surface

I feel nothing
My aura fades to black
I feel nothing

My psyche fettered, held hostage
Buried brick by mental brick
A conscience confined, trapped within my own mind

This twisted haven I cannot escape
Chemically dominated
Emotion desolated

Hollowed husk of heart and flesh
I feel skeletal in form
I am mentally circling the drain

My eyes shoot open to another day
That bears fruitless gifts
Praying for my synapses to fire

Cold sweats return to clasp at my throat
Thoughts caged by this cognitive dissonance
Approaching madness
Mental deterioration
Sleepless and hopeless
Ensnared by the chains of my mind
Approaching madness
Mental deterioration

I stand paralyzed, transfixed, inanimate
A breathless statue, a mere silhouette
A slave to the masters beneath the surface
I stand paralyzed, transfixed, inanimate
A breathless statue, a mere silhouette
A slave to the masters beneath the surface

Drowning in a haze of disillusionment
I am forced to relinquish the reigns of my thoughts
As this endless woe and trepidation
Continues gnawing on my senses

Anhedonia grips at my heart
Anhedonia, I am
I feel nothing
