The dust settles in around me This sleepy hollow where I live I snuggle deeper in When did I last leave you? Youβre around me and I cannot leave There is nothing in this world that could convince me I need you Without you I am lost You are my comfort My security You are as necessary as the air that fills my lungs When this world is demented and shows me its horrors I run to you Where else could I go? There is no one I trust more than you And so I fall deeper into you Into your warmth Your comfort Your safety You.
On what leaving your bed can feel like while living with a mental illness.
