Questions come in stories
Building towers full of worries
For me to leap off of and into a sea
A sea of anxiety, never-ending, undying
And although I laugh as if my wilting flower is fine
It wilts until completely deprived
Dried and deceased, crumbled and stagnant, at least
Up and down goes my merry-go-round
Crooked crown, a king resting on hell hounds
Painted portraits, of hypnotic orchids
I've lost my mind
In a mania.

In a mania
I've lost my mind
My emotions have become so much more synthetic
Abolished to hell where the bad dogs go
Spinning round and round, disrupting my mental flow
Chaotic, messy, lively, wet, to say the most
It grows until completely fulfilled
Although I cry, because my growing weeds are poor
I feel somewhat okay, on this burning sediment
And as I clutch onto the rope above me
Burning the ground of any hope
Answers are lost in mazes

No. I don’t want to talk.
What would I say?
That all my dreams are either ******* him or killing me?
Like that doesn’t sound insane?

Like you wouldn’t think I’m loosing my mind?
Because truthfully I am loosing my mind.
Somehow I love him in such a way that he hurts me, but I am left holding the razor.

He draws me into the cave with the warmth of a firey soul and then
Leaves me standing in the cold
Listening to echoes of my own growling stomach; of my own beating heart

Feeling a fool for entering alone
Because then I see it was a reflection all this time
His soul was never mine to have and never mine to keep

— How are you doing?

Im in a race with the bottom of the bottle
Who will forget the way it feels to have you wrapped around themselves first?

Drowning

I am drowning in fear
I am below the surface where no one can hear
Everyone is up there
While I’m down here
No one seems to have a minute to spare
To help me from drowning in fear

I was drowning in fear
Trying to hold my breath and keeping my mouth
But no one saw me trying to keep the water out
And no one saw that I drowned in fear.

When I cried
You held me tight
When I screamed
You told me it would be alright
When I cut
You stitched my arm
When I took
You switched the pills so I wouldn’t do harm
When I punched
You held my hand
When I kept silent
You smiled because you’d understand.
