being in your own personal prison is so lonely. I cannot stand the sight of my own body and it's like there is life trapped inside of a home I am not programmed to love. chemical imbalances are easy to blame so instead I focus on that fact that I cannot go longer than 26 hours without caving into the persistent animal that lives under my diaphragm. the loneliest moments of my life are when I find myself in a dark room with my clothes off and my demons out to play. they laugh and they pull at every inch of my collapsing body. with tears streaming down my face I cup at my stomach and thighs. it's like I'm screaming I'm sorry but actions speak louder than words so I'm probably whispering. the structure of temple may be beautiful but the demons that reside inside do not agree. I am not fighting a battle with myself. I am fighting against myself. against my flesh and bones.
