Disaster Child Jun 2014
A needle in my arm
Not the kind you think
I'm stitching up invis'ble wounds
The real ones are in my mind
Disaster Child Jun 2014
And I realize
The only thing;
The only animal
The only creature I really hate
Is myself
Disaster Child Jun 2014
I'm not one to let myself be victimized
But it cannot be any other way once realized
I am also my captor
Disaster Child Jun 2014
I-so-lation-ism
My mind my cag-ed pr'son
Disaster Child Jun 2014
Colours of the sky
Gentle grey blues and pale pinks
Is my head still or is the earth moving?
I need to know why
My every hopeful thought sinks
Am I dead now, or merely surviving?

Stand up or fall down
My hands and feet feel so far
Why am I so high off the ground? I'm scared
Detached from my own
Where my mind gets such a scar
I am not the handsome boy so fair-haired

Helpless struggling
Lost in my fate of death
No chance to survive, but would I want to?!
No longer clinging
Not another wasted breath
Pitiful life dully will continue
Disaster Child Jun 2014
Why am I shivering? I can't be cold
My issues are so manifold
Why am I sweating? I don't feel hot
A losing mental battle, so very hard fought
Disaster Child Jun 2014
To you ever tremble without reason?
Shake and shudder just because of how you are?
Tremors running through your body
As you try to sit still.
