The first time I lost my mind, The world seemed a destitute place. The first time I took it by force. Left to fend with fiends Furrowing through time, Clawing at the day, Dragging myself against the pull. Life, The introduction to Something dark and true. The second time! I could stand no more Of what I found before Did not mean to come back, Sometimes I think I didn’t, Mulling in a mood grey and grave The blue sky, Once bubbly Now looks blander Circle of red. Head of lead. Lying in my bed. The third barely touched Just scraped at chalk. After that, I went away… Opted out. Nothing mattered. There I sat in limbo. Soured. Dissasociated Like an old car, I sputtered, Bore sitting and rusting. Consumed. Floating Dead-eyed. And how I laugh, To say That I am less How I laugh- To say that I am dying To think that I am sloth Sloth? I am greed. I am pride. I am failure, I am afraid- Of everything. I died some time ago, Left company Alone So now I am back in the game. And enigmatic. Do I scare you? Because I should. I am terrifying And cant be intimidated I do not fear death, I do not fear reprobation But honestly? I scare my self And I am afraid of you too, Fear is my super power. Depression is my identity, Something personal to me, So- So Welcome death, Welcome fear! Welcome Might. You can’t comprehend me, What it is to be free, You have never died Never writhed, In fire, You circuit. I shan’t come out tonight, Or any other Night But stand afront, With twisted mind, bald and blunt And I shall eat you… That look- Look down Disgust Divert your eyes, But stand in my way, And I shall eat you Your eyes- Coal, Fresh grass Red light Yellow filter Green eyes Pain defies Lies Anguish flies Panic stricken, Anxiety driven Rapture. Quick- Look down now, Holding back the wrath of Jessu, This mouse will ******* eat you!

I like Sylvia Plath. This is my Lady Lazarus.
