Riddles

My chest starts to cave in on my heart.
That's what it'll take first.
My soul is detaching from my body.
That's what it'll captivate next.
My whole life is full of riddles.
That's what it tells me.
My mind can't understand what's happening.
That's the first riddle: what's happening to me?
My emotions are being manipulated so the riddles are harder.
That's what hurts: feeling depressed for no reason; that's the second riddle.
My mind scrambles to hold on to the "it" that speaks of riddles.

I guess that's the main riddle: what is "it"?

I get what dragonsandthree means by it being agood story, this has very much the feel of an internal rat you might hear some struggling main character in a book give, just befor he/she breaks and dose something dangerous/stupid. It feels like, not quite the beginning, but that moment imedietly preceeding the decision that sets the story in motion. I would most CERTAINLY read the book that has this moment.

This is brilliant! It's a very unique poem, and it sounds like it could make a good story.
