Distorted self loathe falls drop by drop, submerging vibrant kaleidoscopes engraved in eye sockets hollow. Blinded, beautiful fractals dissolve into the bittersweet horizon And I stand screaming to the past, future and present, “I am not ready”. Rose coloured glasses have long since enlightened the thin pale flesh that delicately stretches across my decaying framework. I traded my adolescence for an apple of darkness not foreshadowing who would consume who. My mind is accustomed to disorder, insanity being a childhood friend. It has stood in the background of birthday photos, desperate for attention and my own self destruction. It will never let me go, as I to it for we are in love. Each year it urges the suggestion that I am worthless , I am a burden, I am a failure. Entropy tears apart intricate neural pathways, manipulating the very thread that barely stitched me together. It has taken many names, cowardly hiding behind toxic masks. Disguised as my mother, a box cutter, a diet that got out of hand Always convincing me I am not good enough.

Disorder
Distorted self loathe falls drop by drop, submerging vibrant kaleidoscopes engraved in eye sockets hollow. Blinded, beautiful fractals dissolve into the bittersweet horizon And I stand screaming to the past, future and present, “I am not ready”.

I traded my adolescence for an apple of darkness not foreshadowing who would consume who. My mind is accustomed to disorder, insanity being a childhood friend.
