A cloud surrounds me. Suffocates. The lies, they feel so real they must be I can't see anything else anymore so Clearly, so they must be Everything I've forgotten, every scar that I had gotten, and the words, the stares, new knife-marks in my skin I know the Truth, but I can't always discern the lies. It only takes one, to get in, penetrating my skin. And downward, I spin. Into the darkness, the abyss. I can't get out Drowning The words and I think I'm the end of everyone's stares. It only takes one thing, to hear, and my mind runs wild. An inescapable spiraling of words and thoughts of self-loathing. It's a tangled web of heart-broken conditions, misintentions, these afflictions, did you know heartbreak is a diagnosable thing? It is. I decided. My heart was breaking. My heart is break ing. Tangled misintentions, a wave of self-doubting afflictions, all conditions of this mess we've woven. A web we've spun from our brokenness, and in the madness my minds screams, This is all your fault Never good enough Too much, or Too little You'll never be whole Broken beyond repair or care This is all your fault Time to leave Always say never Because you aren't fit for any Endeavor It's better if you leave You aren't good enough to believe Just go Never good enough The lies are so thick I can barely breathe Scars aren't really healed if you're still bleeding from the slashes. Cut hearts and, broken wrists. And none of it's true and part of me knows it, inside but the lies keep on coming and sometimes self-deprecation, feels good self-imposed asphyxiation, fills you up more than air in your lungs could Because pain is an addiction when we won't believe who we are. When I don't believe. I'm just creating more scars. And the lies wrap me up, suffocating in this web of misintention, but a moment of clarity reveals all these afflictions, I sense the darkness creeping in surrounding and impounding my heart. Drowning out the Truth, masking the lies, telling me I should believe I'm worthless. And the lies make sense I'm suffocating inside I cry out, inside my heart and my mind Tell me the Truth, I can't discern the lies. That infiltrate my soul, I've heard them so many thousands of times But the scars haven't healed and I'm still bleeding from the slashes I need a reason to sing, I need someone to bring me out before the swirling darkness settles in and poison takes over my veins. **** out the venom Or I'll die here alone And I cry to hear the Truth that overpowers the lies. I was alone in a claustrophobic cloud of hateful invention. And two hands reached in, grasped my shoulders, turned me round. Looked past my eyes and straight into my soul. Gentle and loving, I hear, I will fight past the lies to tell you the Truth. You're Mine

To Heal Asphyxiation
A cloud surrounds me. Suffocates.
