I hate the days when pain rains down
Like long forsaken tears and drowns
My every thought and action in a sea of agony
I hate the way those days drag on
Until I feel I can’t go on
While losing all my time with those who mean so much to me
I hate what this **** does to me
I wish the night would smother me
But I know it won’t happen…I’m not going to pretend
I hate it all. I hate it all.
I hate the fact that I hate it all
I hate how much it feels like this is never going to end
An older write, but it fits today, as well as days I have had recently. No matter how I am able to function on any given day, the pain never goes away, and I never quite get used to it. The days that it flares are sometimes like a living nightmare, for no matter what I try to do or focus upon, the pain is there, screaming out, invading every thought and action. With everything it keeps from me and keeps me from being able to do, some days, it is but an exhausting lesson in frustration. This has been one of those days.

this self-loathing is too much for me to bare.
i mean i bare everything:
the actions, the words,
the snickers with
an inflamed chest.
and the struggle cannot be conquered;
i am no soldier, no fighter - subhuman.
i struggle for a sense of purpose
like an infected toilet brush
or maybe a half-chewed pencil eraser. quality beats quantity
but i cannot quantify how many tears i have shed
or the glass-stained memories
that leave ****** scratches on mind.
all along there was no end to this journey,
but shattered dreams paint a more vivid picture
than happiness ever could.
A while ago, the mirrored me,
in my reflection looked tired, you see,
This went on and on, oh my,
The time has really passed me by,
It's with regret I now accept,
However long, I've ****** slept,
Without being so tactfully told,
That I'm not just tired, but getting old.
