Depression
You know you've hit rock bottom when you get to this place.
Which is not hell, since I've seen it.
It's bigger;
emptier...
It's scary.
Is it a place?
Or is it a time?
...
I reckon it is a time.
That when you hate yourself
so
much,
you won't even cry about it.
You won't stand in front of a mirror and frown about it,
Or complain about it.
You will do all you can
to forget about it,
Just not think about it.
You will look at your scars and wonder about them.
Feel them and think about them.
But you won't say anything about them.
You will then turn to the mirror
And regret facing your fear.
Because you'll see your face and get
mad
about it,
You will see your body and
scream
about it.
You will see self-hatred and try to
forget
about it.
but you
can't
forget about it.
Not until you take your blade and bleed about it.
But, you will never feel better about it
Because:
you've
hit
rock
bottom.
There's no getting better from this
But you
WILL
NOT
cry about it.
