I need you. Now more than ever, as cliché as it is to say. Before I might've been heartbroken or felt torn down, but this is true pain. I can't even ******* talk Because I'm not fighting against some bully, *****, my hypocritical parents. I am figuratively literally fighting myself.
I can't explain it but there's a part of me that loves the sorrow. He loves being hurt, angry, and alone. And it's like the more I fight the stronger he gets. the more I try not to be alone the lonelier I get the more I try to fix how I look the more I stand out the more I try to tell myself nothing's wrong with me the more convinced of my insanity I become To the point where I'm starting to believe the ******* he's selling.
I mean for ****'s sake I'm writing to you, nothing but an image in my head. I don't know if I'm being hopeless when I say that, I know in my heart you don't exist and you're never coming. BECAUSE YOU NEVER ******* DO. you're not the first. This isn't even the forty-second time I'm making up some imaginary person, to be my coping mechanism. I AM ALONE. Always have been. Everything I believe in tells me there's only one me so how could I be so ******* stupid as to believe that you exist? Almost a clone of me, but of the opposite gender; now that I'm saying it I realize how insane it is to think.
And it really does make me insane doesn't it. Because I actually am doing the same thing over and over expecting something new to happen. I keep believing someone out there knows and can help with my specific situation and and and after the situation resolves itself you just leave my mind forever. Last night, I was so convinced that I needed you that I actually felt another human's pain. When I cried, I felt like someone else, at that moment, felt what I felt. But hey I believe in talking snakes, pregnant virgins, and magical Jews so how is someone else feeling this pain so far fetched? simple, because I'm alone
This is my fifth poem in this collection. It was my first breakdown, it talks more about what I went through after writing Poem #4. The 'he' I keep referring to is what I'll later call my demon.
