Dysfunctional

Glass ticking like cold plastic

 

My fingers thrum hopelessly in the hopes of drumming up a solution to a problem with an issue of loss.

 

This dilemma has found me at the end of my rope and I fear the knots in my stomach are only getting tighter as I squeeze you closer to me now.

 

Why can't I help me?

 

I won't let you do it for me.

 

But must I force feed you the truth?

 

I'm not hungry for this day any more. Fighting this sickness, I choke back another spoonful of medicine...

--And what am I supposed to do now then?!

 

Frustration consumes me.

I am bile. The emptiness inside, that fills me with rot.

 

I'm hollow!!

 

Somebody save me from myself! I want to self-destruct and not be okay anymore.

 

I want to fly a Subaru into the sun on fire.

*I'm just so ******

 

Just leave me behind and maybe I can decompose into something useful and that actually wants to be here and maybe after that I can finally float away from here...

 

Wouldn't that be okay?

Why should I have to stay.

 

I never belonged here any way.
