A constant itch I cannot scratch. A constant hole I cannot patch With the right colour material. The black on black always looks off. It's the constant promise of something good. It's the constant darkness under a hood, With two strings attached I draw it closed. Never to escape into the sunlight. A constant tremor in my electricity. A constant suffocating toxicity, It breathes nerves in like waves and washes them back. Sometimes how I wish it would demolish me. It's a constant knowing that I'm still not there. It's a constant trying my best not to care, About anyone else but myself but that's selfish right? Because nobody teaches you how to fight the beast that feeds on you (internally- eternally.)
