Fog

I write through fog, thick as smoke
My brain strains to gain meaning
I stammer and stutter
Can't get it out
I can't let it out

I write through a haze, clear as smog
Is it the illness or the medication?
Who knows?
Either way I'm stuffed
Anyway, I'm stuffed

Error, error, cannot compute
Warning lights flash in my mind
I'm getting left behind
Please don't leave me
Don't leave me here

Struggling through the clouds
I emerge into clarity
for a few brief minutes
Before I descend again
I descend beneath the fog
