Retreating to the known and dangerous. Easing into the normalcy of generated lines. Letting the red tears run in place of the salt water ones. Allowing myself to enjoy the comfort of pain. Pain strikes but is welcomed at the gate. Shutting out the emotions instead. Eyeing them outside the window, wishing they would wash away. Showing the mirror what I’ve done. Under the black cloud of shame and guilt. Creating a place of daggered walls and floors. Kicking yourself just to make you learn. Silently wishing for death to come.

Retreating to the known and dangerous. Easing into the normalcy of generated lines. Letting the red tears run in place of the salt water ones. Allowing myself to enjoy the comfort of pain. Pain strikes but is welcomed at the gate. Shutting out the emotions instead. Eyeing them outside the window, wishing they would wash away. Showing the mirror what I’ve done. Under the black cloud of shame and guilt. Creating a place of daggered walls and floors. Kicking yourself just to make you learn. Silently wishing for death to come.
