The Bounds Of My Perception Poem by Liam Hughes

The bounds of my perception
Begins tightening its grip
My thoughts and their ejection
From my mind they only slip
The width of my vision
Seems to drift away
Confusion makes its incision
And keeps my sanity at bay

The echo of the muffled sound
Seeps its way into my ears
As it begins falling down
I give in to my biggest fears
The notions they escape from me
And are lost in empty space
I'm left wondering what they could be
As they disappear without a trace

Deciding where my eyes should look
Seems to take an hour
Grieving for the time it took
The time it did devour
Try to move my listless arms
The attempts are to no avail
Fortunately my body calms
As I accept my attempts that fail
