Screaming through lips sealed wide-shut
Getting out of bed, should be easier than this, you think, lying under covers made out of stone.
Taking a shower, should not freeze you solid, stuck to the chair thatās creaking with age alongside your bones.
āWater is good for youā, you keep hearing, yet it tastes like acid, going down your throat.
Saying what you need is simple, yet talkingās rather hard through lips sewn shut.
People crave people, you try to convince yourself, shying from crowds that are meant to comfort - humans do not survive alone.
āJust tryā, āitās not that hardā, āyou donāt seem sickā, āitās all in your headā, well, no fucking shit, Sherlock.
Age of Enlightenment. Era of Woke. Years of Compassion and Sympathy and āOh, we get itā.
Bull. Shit.Ā
Voices in your head, they speak the loudest. Cacophony of noise that only you can hear. Poison, crawling through your veins, eats you up from inside out.
Useless, worthless, just, all around, less is what you are.
āGet over itā, āothers have it worseā, āso self-centred, arenāt you ashamed of yourselfā of-fucking-course you are.
Of-fucking-course. Thatās all you are.
