Dry, cracked, fractured.
Broken, barren, fissured.
Raptured, sliced, split.
Rifted, carved, slit.
Cut, torn, weathered.
Slashed, hacked, severed.
Chopped, gashed, ripped.
Gouged, lanced, clipped.

In a deep deep well,
Where I dwell, dwell, dwell,
I can smell, smell, smell,
All the stale, stale, stale,
Souls.
And I hear, hear, hear,
Bells are near, near, near,
And it's clear, clear, clear,
Death is here, here, here,
In the walls.
Then I know, know, know,
Fear will grow, grow, grow,
Hearts will slow, slow, slow,
Life will flow, flow, flow,
Down the halls.
And at last, last, last,
Low the mast, mast, mast,
Trumpet blast, blast, blast,
Life has past, past, past,
To the falls.

Seeds of sadness,
Planted,
In my ground.
Buds of sorrow,
Sprouted,
In the sand.
Shoots of dysphoria,
Covering,
The land.
Trees of depression,
Growing,
Where I stand.
In the middle of the land,
Sinking in the sand,
Disappearing in the ground.
Bare trees,
Are left,
Unsound.

I'm repeating myself.
I'm redundant.
I'm duplicated.
Duplicated,
Duplicated,
Abundant.
I echo, echo my words.
I wander, wander the wards,
With the white walls
And the white coats,
With the sterile air,
And the silent wants.
Bars in my mind,
I'm confined,
Resigned,
Re-assigned,
Re-defined,
Re-designed.
I'm repeating myself,
Repeating,
Peating,
Eating.
I'm redundant,
Abundant,
Pungent.

Morning,
Almost,
A night's shadow is still here.
Refusing to leave,
Holding on,
Clinging to air.
And the morning can not start,
Eyes are still shut.
Until the shadow lets go,
Morning will not show,
Us, today,
Nor one ray,
Of sun will we know.

In the corner of the room,
On the middle of the table,
In the depth of the dish,
On the edge of the spoon.
I am looking at it.
Nausea.
I am staring,
Into the pit.

In,
And out of,
Myself.
I go,
In and out.
Pouring out and
Crawling in.
Spilling out and
Climbing in.
Spewing out and
Trampling in.
My knees are bruised,
My shoulders slumped,
My head is dizzy,
My thoughts are stumped.
My body is a sieve.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
I skive,
One slice,
A layer,
A layer.
Spreading a carpet of myself, flat.
Now all over, I'm the same height,
Much easier to go in and out.
