Everything is small today
Closed in
And choking.
Walls are built
From judging gazes
And doors
Are fumbled to lock
Through fear.
My fear
The only certainty I
Own today
It is the spaces of my mind
Is the beat in my chest
The twist in my gut
And all the dust that settles
On the stuff
I no longer think I love.
I cant look at them
Happier in their times of health
I feel like a ***** among them
Stranger bent and twisted
They wonder why i visited
At all
If i cannot stand to smile.
What is that
My lips are downturned hurt
And muscles ache
With the strain
Of keeping it together
If i should loosen my hold
Just for one toothy lie,
The i should fly apart
Around the sadness
Then who would clean up
That mess?

A Lonesome Cry fill the night,
A lone girl sat alone filled with nothing but fright,
Her mind running from a monster only she could know,
No matter how fast she ran she felt so slow.
This thing that never Slept,
This thing that never Eats,
It haunts her during the day,
She's tried everything to make it go away.
Nothing slows this Creature down,
Dragging her into the dark where she feels like she's going to drown.
This being she knows all too well,
Ever since that day...ever since she fell.
This miserable thing that fills her with Self Loathing, and Hate,
She can do nothing against - nothing but wait.
It's name is known to many as an illness,
But the name it's called wasn't born from silliness...
After all:
Depression is no joke
Was thinking about some stuff and this just kinda popped into my head.
sorry it's been a while since i've uploaded, hadda lot of stuff goin on IRL wise.
hope to be back soon :D

Just let me in
Please don't lock the door
Wanna be alone?
I'll be here on the floor

We can sit in silence
No words need be spoken
We can put back the pieces
When you're feeling broken
Unfinished

— The End —
