I don't think they realise
How sleepless nights
Can affect you
Or
How overthinking
Slowly kills you,
I don't think they know
How it can turn your mind
Into thoughts you wish weren't yours.

the ship has sailed

it has been met
with unfavorable conditions

and it has sunk

scarred ruins scattered
about the floor of the ocean

wood & fabrics
fragile things
making a place
for scavengers to lay

and the world will keep turning

the waters will still completely

the oceans will evaporate

and an underwater grave
will be visible from space

Spring is coming,
And that means my cough gets bad,
And I need to take more medicine,
And my depression gets worse.
I know I have a mental breakdown coming,
But I have been putting it off
Because I simply don't have time.

I bought a tape measure,
And every day
Twice a day
I measure my stomach
My chest
My neck
My thighs
My arms
My waist
And my calves.
And I mark down the date, time and measurement.

I'm trying to stop the vomiting part,
But lately it has actually been working out quite nicely.
I'm going to work on it, though.
It's messy and gross and shameful.
