I hear her scream I hear her tiny footsteps in the Hallway Her shallow breathing speeds up my heart She is an empty shell of the person I knew Her soft skin that used to soothe me is abused by her confusion Her mumbles fill the air and her eyes are an empty abyss Day after day living with an empty shell She is nothing but a shell I spend day after day Searching for her My mom Pill after pill Doctors’ appointments left and right Until I eventually found her With tears in my eyes I found her and realized I never wanted to lose her again

Losing your mind
I hear her scream I hear her tiny footsteps in the Hallway Her shallow breathing speeds up my heart She is an empty shell of the person I knew Her soft skin that used to soothe me is abused by her confusion Her mumbles fill the air and her eyes are an empty abyss Day after day living with an empty shell She is nothing but a shell I spend day after day Searching for her My mom Pill after pill Doctors’ appointments left and right Until I eventually found her With tears in my eyes I found her and realized I never wanted to lose her again
