only sometimes, though

Sometimes
Lying in bed
There's the sensation
Of sinking down hard
Heavy into the springs
While all at once
On the verge of
Levitating above. 

Odd moments where
Everything I hold feels
Too much for my fragile limbs
A fleeting weakness in my mind
That turns my arms to brittle toothpicks
And all else into dense weights. 

Sometimes I look around
And can only hear what I'm thinking
Question the authenticity of experiences
The reliability of my senses
Reality, normality, sanity.

Sometimes I'm a little crazy.
