Corner

Pick a corner,

you’ll find me,

praying to God no one notices me.

Under depression while I passionately hug my obsession.

Contemplating if it’s worth the fight to stay sober through the night. No drugs just me to face the ugly truth of my imperfection,

the flithy reality that I’ll never be in control

of this beast that eats

away at the emptiness while I strive to be thin I mirror the skeleton beneath my skin.

Funny how tight I can hold the truth deep within.

Between lies and smiles

I seem to be recovered

while I’m a functioning addicted to my drug of choice

I would be number one in line if it ment rewinding time

just so I could eat the frist meal I skipped.

Asking myself would this end this trip?

Will never know now because I’m neck deep in this quick sand

with a crowd of friends holding my hand

screaming to me as I fade away into the life I gave away.
