just wait

i feel like there’s a special level of hell made just for me

no amount of perceived righteousness or redemption will ever save me

i cry and gasp and sob, holding out a desperate hand

but no one grabs it

they see me drowning in a black pit of nothing, a void of feeling and not feeling, pain and apathy

they watch, they say they are there

but they are too scared to grab my hand, they won’t dare to

they’re too afraid they’ll be dragged in

they watch me writhe in my sin and despair

i will drown in that void one day, i know

i’m just waiting until then

darkness filling my lungs as i sink, and spewing out of my mouth as i float

my nails are bloodied and torn from the scratching and clawing and pure desperation, i just want out

but i guess ill wait until then

i’m not doing too good with my OCD, and i’m a little mad at myself. this is my time for some self pity
