Don’t surround yourself with yourself. Move on back to square… One thing was true. You never forgot… Not entirely. But you distracted yourself. The distraction got in the way. The distraction didn’t make sense… So you set out to clarify that distraction Which only distracted you further. Until distraction was all you could see,
distraction upon distraction...
And you forgot Where to turn. Where to look. You grappled for yourself, You groped for that one thread… that golden thread. But you couldn’t find it. It was buried, lost, somewhere… nowhere. You didn’t know. But you felt an anxiety now welling. You grew hazy. Your outline diminished. The solid ground fell away and you were left suspended in vacant space. In blackness. You saw nothing but perceived… everything... in some confused directionless despair. All was lost.
And something stirred from deep within, Below the surging tides of chaos, From some silent sacred cave, A silent nook in the depths of despair Erupted a deafening cry...
An echo from a distant self, a distant truth that you once knew.

Something I've been working on tonight as part of the healing process.
I am afraid. Here’s why.
I am afraid I have too much perspective. I am afraid this will allow me to ask the right questions. I am afraid I will get the answers to my questions. I am afraid the answers will not be what I want them to be.
I am afraid to live. I am afraid to die. I am afraid I am stuck between.
I am afraid I’ll be like this forever.

thanks...
cups i know exactly what ya mean.
i think maybe there is hope in the idea that maybe there is no 'one' answer out there but many answers. And some of those answers will not be what you want... maybe none of them will. But if you find the right ones they may be just as good if not even better!

Some more...
I am afraid I am dying. I am afraid that what makes me "me" is dying. That scares "me" to death.
I am afraid because I lost control. I am afraid because I hit myself. I am afraid because I had to remove the dog from my room. I am afraid because I was afraid I would hurt her. I am afraid because I became that guy.
BTW- This is all the result of me dealing with a mind blowing trip on Monday. The last few days have been difficult. Fear and panic and despair and depersonalization. You name it.
I started working on why I was feeling these things and it seems to be helping a lot.

The part you quoted is known as "Your Move". The second half of the song is all good people.
and hopefully the writing helps some of you, carry on and try to heal
