Racing Through My Mind

These thoughts are racing through my mind,
Is my fear finally here?
Am I losing my mind?
Is it true that I’m going insane?
Is my end finally here?
I feel like I can no longer go on like this,
I want it all to end.
What is this thing they call chemical imbalance?
One minute I’m fine,
and the next I feel like I’m losing my mind.
I’m in a world that doesn’t seem real,
will my life ever be the same?
