Forest shelters all
good and bad
so is life

My existence aches
I don’t know why
Every muscle tense
I can’t get comfortable
I want to dissolve
Into nothingness
I don’t know why
I want to cause pain
It’ll give me a reason
To hurt
My hands trying to move
To where the marks can hide
So instead I type
Maybe I can trick them
Into thinking they’ve done
Their dark deed

I just want to sleep

my core is a well
of deep emotions
and i struggle to string
a raft made of words
to stay afloat.
