Heavy, the dark clouds descend Pressing down upon my shoulders. I fall to my knees as I try to scream, But my lungs will barely breathe. Thick ash coats my throat, The sweetness of death Dancing across my tongue. Thoughts like electricity Shocking all of me, Interchangeably. Forehead meets concrete with desperate force; The pain a mere whisper Against a raging wall of emotions. I beg for death to break this hell My own consciousness the walls of this prison.
On the outside I am calm: Still, silent, high-functioning. The gift of my survival, Now the curse that's killing me.
