I can’t bear the weight, nothing to be proud of, my chest, a stone, stabbing at night, panic grips, thoughts of relief, not death, but a quiet escape. I swallow words, the wrong ones linger, a constant burden, doubt drapes my heart, trust slips through fingers, in shadows I dwell, a ghost in my own skin.

i hate myself
I can’t bear the weight, nothing to be proud of, my chest, a stone, stabbing at night, panic grips, thoughts of relief, not death, but a quiet escape. I swallow words, the wrong ones linger, a constant burden, doubt drapes my heart, trust slips through fingers, in shadows I dwell, a ghost in my own skin.
