I don’t know where to begin, where to start, or where to end and where to stop. I don’t know how to tell you what’s on my mind. There are so many words missing, words I can’t find. Because my mind is a warzone, it is a battlefield. And my shield is broken and my weapons are blunt. There’s nothing and no one to protect me in a war against myself. I scream and I scream, and my skin, my voice bleed and I hope I wake up and it’ll all just be a dream. But it’s not, it seems. I feel shunned though I have been told I’m loved, and that those ***** around me, who surround me love me. But I find it hard to believe it now. Time flies so fast for me or does it stand still, I don’t know. Minutes to hours, hours to days. And it’s getting difficult for me to see beyond the fog that clouds my thoughts, my eyes. So I put on a mask And do the impossible task Of waking up every day as I struggle to put on the play. But the problem never goes away. I slowly start shutting myself out from people, stop going to places that are crowded all the while enjoying being shrouded in the dark of my room. I feel doomed. I don’t like to cook, I don’t feel like reading a book. All satisfaction is gone and I don’t know what’s wrong. I don’t enjoy the things I used to. There’s no purpose for me, I feel. No motivation. Everything is just white noise. Everything is static. So I stand here now, tired and weary, at a path so dark and dreary leading to different directions, all the while thinking I don’t want to exist anymore.
