Lately i question
whether I exist
or
if I am simply
a figment of everyone elses imagination.
I don't believe
i am living
nor
dead.
I am somewhere in between.
I either feel everything at once
or
nothing at all.
but how can a ghost
feel anything at all?

I'm so lost.
My surroundings don't feel real and
I'm so scared.
The skin on my fingertips is sliced
in patterns created by anxiety fuelled
compulsivity whilst I'm sat around an unfamiliar kitchen table.
I'm so lonely.
Interaction is only manageable after the sour taste
of ***** shots have seeped into my blood stream and
I'm so sad.
Do they know where I disappear off to?
Do they realise that I leave the room, unable to cope,
just to slash at my thighs in a desperate attempt to feel grounded?
I'm so sore.
My body is bruised, tiny constellations that
only remind me of home, of my mother and her hobbies.
Of skies no longer tinged with the bitter sweet brassiness of city lights
but of unadulterated and divine decrees.
I'm so wistful.
My body shatters at the thought of home, of comfort, of love.
The fragments form a barrier around me,
a territorial wire with thorny thistles ready to attack.
I'm so divided.
Half of my mangled mind grasps onto you,
your memories and your love.
The other detaches, similarly to the way in which my mind
departs from reality.

I'm so disconnected.
Yet this feeling is sewn strangely into my wounds,
tied too tight to let go.
Maybe if the thread was to be loosened,
I would fall apart forever.
some thoughts on being thrown into the deep end AKA going to university.

Heavy eyes heavy soul
Leaded eyes leaded soul
I'm tired of this tune constantly ringing
The old life seems far the best
Please leave from my mind and leave from this place
You can't survive here
They don't even notice you but you don't even notice yourself
Thanks

The sunflowers I bought you
sat backlit by the window.
Their long stems
reflected into our small kitchen;
Every fallen petal played out
like a slow, sorrowful production
on how beautiful things often die.

I remember that last week and how
we had mapped out routes to avoid each other.
Our bodies that once pointed towards
one another like home,
now recalculated every way to avoid contact.

When our eyes involuntarily did meet
I would quickly begin to count
the dry, mustard yellow
blades on our kitchen table
until you were gone.

Till this day, every time I think of you,
I think of petals, and begin to count
until I can no longer feel the
enormous weight of your absence.

I feel like Alice falling
down
the
rabbit
hole

stop motion film scenes
turtle with three legs slow

I see bits and pieces of reality
gently
floating
by
me

I remember how it feels to be alive
but I can't
feel
anything
I can't
leave this cramped corner of my own mind

Everything,
is slightly
slowly
slipping
you see,
someone's pulling
the carpet
out from beneath my feet

Helpless,
I can only stumble
and watch
trapped
in
my
little
black
box.
If youre ever perscribed this- don't take it. Its supposed to help me quit smoking... yeah right

The clock strikes,
time stands still,
hands sweep across a moonlit face,
tears fall to the ground,
eternal rain on my soul.  
We kiss the stars and wrap ourselves in the velvet shrouds of darkness,  
fading into dancing shadows,
an immortal embrace.
