I find comfort in make believe- Fantasies The way others might find comfort In the thought of their lungs Filling up With water But, the idea of drowning terrifies me I’ve ran to the edge of a cliff before telling myself The rocks might soften the blow Catch me, Before the water does My skull will splinter and lay amongst the dirt.
I couldn’t find the courage to jump However, I try to tell myself that laying down on the cotton wool grass And looking up into space with tears running down my face Whilst a voice tells me “Sort your **** out before you truly do collapse” Before I do go over the cliff's edge Is far braver then becoming Scattered bones Amongst the water's side There is such an ugliness with the obsession with wanting to die It's far more than wanting though Even more than a release It’s a craving, a sick twisted addiction A constant need-
Because once I am dead I will rot I will become one with the Earth Become a part of the soil There is an uncertain ease in knowing that my body without function Has so much more Purpose Compared to the one sitting here, breathing With a heart beating on the inside It’s like all I do with my time is drink tea and get high Or Dress up and get drunk
I’ve got these two people inside of me But each of them both live in fear of sobriety So instead of diving into liquid, giving the dramatics I will destroy my organs and my mind Because right now it feels like a way to simply past the time There is always too much time And self- destruction through substance Feels like far less of a commitment Then committing to actually jumping
Maybe I am not brave at all Because I still lack the courage To not destroy myself One way or another.
i can't think of a title for this besides 'Courage, comfort and substance' but let me know if u come up with something a bit better
