I took a break from that sugarless candy, The one that makes my mind sane I was calm but triggered at the same time so it was time for me to quit It happened, that I broke down again A mental breakdown that was at its worst My uncontrollable emotions made me scream like I learned a new tone My body wouldn’t stop moving from the demands my brain was signalling between my bones My heart felt all the abuse And my whole body was breaking I felt like something took over me, I was a different person Out of control and crazy; my actions came before thinking I felt like all these years my mind came back with revenge from being tamed It was like I had all the symptoms starting from the beginning as if I was clueless; Back to square one, where I didn’t recognize who I was anymore The anxiety was too intense My chest was too tight; with cramping Then I forgot how to breathe I was out of control with every small trigger The darkness mind had woken, though I thought it was dead Only sleeping, waiting for an opportunity that always was waiting for me to give up once again My screams made me deaf My actions made me scared I had days that I was unmedicated And those days were the best I’ve ever had; loving the symptoms of a broken, crazy person After some time, my mind cooperated after I broke I took the pill again, but at a higher dose It created another problem, that I had absolutely no control The anxiety was at its worse once I began taking the pill Felt like it was doing more harm; I wanted to feel normal without those milligrams I felt my heart beat at its fastest And then my chest started cramping all over again I felt so sick to my stomach; Enough that food was forbidden; to stop eating A few days, my body was empty Anxiety was in control; demanding my body go unnourished I saw nothing but evil That’s when I wanted to break each mirror I looked in Cause deep down I couldn’t save myself all over again Deep down I didn’t want to save myself and make the darkness end I hated the dizziness, while I loved it The feeling of being drunk, but I never had a sip I endured a great weakness inside Physically I felt something that I was forced to hide I looked at my face, my skin, and body I looked at my tears; the salted water that had me drowning I was going back to how I was; The silent stranger that he once helped me escape from This is round two of a dangerous breakdown He came to my rescue again from all my demons It was the exhaustion of anger outbursts, The exhaustion of nervous breakdowns, It became physically obvious from a problem that was emotionally painful I had my days of emptiness; Those moments of anger & anxiety I had my hours of darkness; Those moments of loneliness & fear I had my minutes of sadness; Those moments of drowning in my tears I had my seconds of moodswings; Those moments when I lost all control I was at my highest of losing control, my body became so exhausted Like a toddler having a tantrum, I didn’t care who I disturbed, who I hurt, how I sounded, and how I looked My heart made an entrance; but weak It finally warmed me up, but I still wasn’t free With the lack of food, It was hard to laugh; so my muscles were weak My chest was tight, and it was hard to breathe As I tried to speak, it was an unrecognizable hoarseness from the screams that took over my vocal chords I knew my body was weak I knew my mind failed me all over again The exhaustion of anger outbursts, The exhaustion of nervous breakdowns, It became physically obvious from a problem that was emotionally painful I did it one last time just to feel the pain from the inside out I suddenly had a calm breath that stopped me Then I finally realized, this shouldn’t be me

I took a break from that sugarless candy, The one that makes my mind sane I was calm but triggered at the same time so it was time for me to quit It happened, that I broke down again A mental breakdown that was at its worst My uncontrollable emotions made me scream like I learned a new tone My body wouldn’t stop moving from the demands my brain was signalling between my bones My heart felt all the abuse And my whole body was breaking I felt like something took over me, I was a different person Out of control and crazy; my actions came before thinking I felt like all these years my mind came back with revenge from being tamed It was like I had all the symptoms starting from the beginning as if I was clueless; Back to square one, where I didn’t recognize who I was anymore The anxiety was too intense My chest was too tight; with cramping Then I forgot how to breathe I was out of control with every small trigger The darkness mind had woken, though I thought it was dead Only sleeping, waiting for an opportunity that always was waiting for me to give up once again My screams made me deaf My actions made me scared I had days that I was unmedicated And those days were the best I’ve ever had; loving the symptoms of a broken, crazy person After some time, my mind cooperated after I broke I took the pill again, but at a higher dose It created another problem, that I had absolutely no control The anxiety was at its worse once I began taking the pill Felt like it was doing more harm; I wanted to feel normal without those milligrams I felt my heart beat at its fastest And then my chest started cramping all over again I felt so sick to my stomach; Enough that food was forbidden; to stop eating A few days, my body was empty Anxiety was in control; demanding my body go unnourished I saw nothing but evil That’s when I wanted to break each mirror I looked in Cause deep down I couldn’t save myself all over again Deep down I didn’t want to save myself and make the darkness end I hated the dizziness, while I loved it The feeling of being drunk, but I never had a sip I endured a great weakness inside Physically I felt something that I was forced to hide I looked at my face, my skin, and body I looked at my tears; the salted water that had me drowning I was going back to how I was; The silent stranger that he once helped me escape from This is round two of a dangerous breakdown He came to my rescue again from all my demons It was the exhaustion of anger outbursts, The exhaustion of nervous breakdowns, It became physically obvious from a problem that was emotionally painful I had my days of emptiness; Those moments of anger & anxiety I had my hours of darkness; Those moments of loneliness & fear I had my minutes of sadness; Those moments of drowning in my tears I had my seconds of moodswings; Those moments when I lost all control I was at my highest of losing control, my body became so exhausted Like a toddler having a tantrum, I didn’t care who I disturbed, who I hurt, how I sounded, and how I looked My heart made an entrance; but weak It finally warmed me up, but I still wasn’t free With the lack of food, It was hard to laugh; so my muscles were weak My chest was tight, and it was hard to breathe As I tried to speak, it was an unrecognizable hoarseness from the screams that took over my vocal chords I knew my body was weak I knew my mind failed me all over again The exhaustion of anger outbursts, The exhaustion of nervous breakdowns, It became physically obvious from a problem that was emotionally painful I did it one last time just to feel the pain from the inside out I suddenly had a calm breath that stopped me Then I finally realized, this shouldn’t be me
