May 2013
they've got an edge going down
and at first it feel good
it feels right
but then the edge becomes a burn
a slow burn, dragging your coeherency down with it
they catch in your throat, choke you
you can't breathe
you feel like you're drowning
but you don't stop
can't stop
and suddenly
it becomes an addiction
it's wrong
it hurts
you feel like it'll never end
but eventually you've thought yourself to sleep
and you wake up the next morning with a headache
and a bad taste in your mouth
that tastes a bit like forgetting
this is what it feels like to lie awake at 3 am with anxiety and depression
