Fractured Reverie

Everything became a haunting nightmare,
Every uncertainty of mine,
All-consuming self-doubt,
Everything I possess,
Everything I lack,
Everything I've done,
Everything I should have done,
Everything I yearn for,
Everything I desperately need to become,
Everything I'm incapable of,
Everything I ought to have accomplished,
Everything that plagues my mind,
Everything that relentlessly changes,
Everything I am,
Everything I am not.

Oh, when will peace grace my weary soul?
How many sleepless nights must I endure,
As this relentless torment follows me even in slumber?
