The Corner of the Room
Word after word you flung them at me
It didn't make a difference
My tears you didn't see
All these voices in my head
My own
Other people's
They said
Go **** yourself,
You aren't good enough
You're nothing
You're worthless
You ****
Tears starts to drop
Because if I can't release my emotions
It's the next best thing
My breaths get quicker
I can't move
I reach out for anything to hold onto
Trying to get a grip on my sanity
I gulp for air but there is none
Stupid global warming.
Try to make myself laugh
Doesn't work
So there it is
The corner of the room
The lights are off
So I stare
I try to see the corner where the two walls meet but it's just darkness
It reminds me of us.
Darkness is all I ever see.
The corner of the two walls where they meet
It's staring into a void because in this darkness I can't see.
It's but an empty black hole of nothingness that is waiting for us to venture closer so it can rip our hearts out.
Once again
Reminds me of you.
It's 3:25 in the morning
Why can't i breathe
Why can't I think
The corner of the room
In daylight it looks safe enough
But in the darkness?
It's something you can never trust
Rocking back and forth
Scratching at arms
Because I don't have anything sharper
I was prepared
I start to hear screams and think
I should help
Oh wait
That's me.
I bite my tongue
Bite my hand
Forcing the bloodcurdling noise
To stop
Because
No one wants to hear
No one does
Hide and Go seek was always the game I was best at.
οΈHiding is the thing I'm good at
Searching
Scrambling
Throwing things around
Found it
A sigh in relief
Rip in two
Music starts to bleed from my soul
Words drip from my eyes
Regrets of broken promises
Regrets of broken medicine seals
So high my feet can't touch the ground
I move my lips but no sound
Am I a superhero?
Because I'm flying
That corner of the room
That **** corner
The last thing my eyes set on
Forever burned in there
As I fall
