We argue all day, my brain and I
These thoughts scream in my head
I want to die
“No you want to die”
Wait, who said that, get out
Get.
Out.
Why can’t I escape this prison
My mind traps me, tortures me
I need to make it out of here
But how do I escape my own mind?
“You’re worthless”
No, stop please. I know.
I.
Know.
I claw and scream, but only I can hear myself.
Why am I laughing?
“You deserve this”
No, no I don’t I want to leave. But maybe I deserve it…
I.
Do.
Maybe it’s best to be trapped in my brain
It keeps everyone safe right? I deserve it, right?
“Yes”
Okay I can’t stay, wait no what am I saying.
I’ll.
Stay.
