Silence, like a blanket
envelops me.
It is comfort at first,
But all too soon
I am suffocating.
God help me
whatever deity there is
i cannot continue living this way.
Hand shaking,
Ink stains blotting
White paper now corrupted
by the words of an unforgiving society
Scarlet dripping on the floor,
my breathing becomes shallow
one pill at a time
my world shakes
my vision blurs
and all i can think of
is you.

Silence, like a blanket
envelops me.
It is comfort at first,
But all too soon
I am suffocating.
God help me
whatever deity there is
i cannot continue living this way.
Hand shaking,
Ink stains blotting
White paper now corrupted
by the words of an unforgiving society
Scarlet dripping on the floor,
my breathing becomes shallow
one pill at a time
my world shakes
my vision blurs
and all i can think of
is you.
