The signs

by @pernille-augustson

You’re wondering where I am, Cuz I’m no longer around, You try to understand, Why you never saw the signs, You say you were once there yourself, But the fear for me is nowhere here, Do you even care? I try to smile, To laugh, To work, But the pain inside is trembling me up in deep I’m nauseous and want to go hide, Never to be found, Alone and at peace, Forever in my sleep I don’t want to deal with all the dozen things around, I want to be able to fly, Far up in the sky, Where beauty is all I see and fresh air all I breathe My air somehow have gotten polluted, It’s so polluted it suffocates me to the core The pain was always present, From a young me untill now, There have been breaks along the way, But when it hits, It hits me bad. All the memories from the past keep knocking on my brain, It’s like I struggle with glimpses of exruciating pain, Memories that never fade, but forgotten in my conciousness And I can’t unlock my unconciousness Everything is coming back, Everything and everyone tears me up inside, Agony, And most of it bottles up from my insides The insides I can’t reach But that forever holds me captive I am dead while breathing, And breathing while I’m dead Nobody understands, And I know that is a cliché, But nobody does because I don’t even, My life was filled with emotional terror, The trauma stays with me through my tears, The anxiety trembles my lips as I can’t seem to see clear It’s foggy all around And my feet won’t touch the ground My emotions are numb, It’s like I can’t feel The only thing I feel is my pain that’s so real It’s vivid and raw, And nothing can compare Who do I love if I love one at all? They say you can’t love someone, before you love yourself, I guess that’s true, Cuz I never loved myself at all It feels like I’m about to vomit, And the devil’s on my door, I’m ready to take off, Nothing left for me here no more
