Orange flowers blanket my knees My coffee is betrayal - not sweet enough. Bland Daylight again, but I am a vampire Decomposed lettuce juice in the fridge Other people exist - I decline Where is the cacao bean delight? The ocean can wait I have my shell. It has pockets

I lay here rotting Between sheets and shame Unable to move Unable to cry Only the sinking of my teeth into fabric To muffle my screams For it is too late to be in need I lay here I lie here And honestly I'll die here Yet even doing that Would still make me a chore So I stay within the blanketing darkness Telling myself it will be fine When we know all I am doing Is waiting out the clock

Wasting Time

I lay here rotting Between sheets and shame Unable to move Unable to cry Only the sinking of my teeth into fabric To muffle my screams For it is too late to be in need I lay here I lie here And honestly I'll die here Yet even doing that Would still make me a chore So I stay within the blanketing darkness Telling myself it will be fine When we know all I am doing Is waiting out the clock

My brain tells me That I am lazy To which I respond I am trying my best Your best isn't good enough It says back It's your best too Is all I can come up with We have to do this I tell my brain, frantic I'm too overwhelmed It replies It will only get worse I plead My brain doesn't respond I lay in my bed My brain shows me Painful images I don't want to see those I cry, begging them to go away We have to do this It says matter of factly I do not respond with words Only sobs

Conversations with My Brain

My brain tells me That I am lazy To which I respond I am trying my best Your best isn't good enough It says back It's your best too Is all I can come up with We have to do this I tell my brain, frantic I'm too overwhelmed It replies It will only get worse I plead My brain doesn't respond I lay in my bed My brain shows me Painful images I don't want to see those I cry, begging them to go away We have to do this It says matter of factly I do not respond with words Only sobs

Why won’t you move? Do something productive? Don’t be lazy, get up for once, Don’t you plan? Don’t make excuses Don’t be picky, It doesn’t need consistency It doesn’t need rewards You don’t have to understand, You don’t need it to be perfect Watch your time, organize, You aren’t overwhelmed You don’t need interest, How will you live? If you can’t do basic things, You won’t have help Don’t be a failure, Don’t put things back, You’re being lazy, immature, **** it up, ignore it, You're being dramatic, Just shut up, such a disgrace, All those excuses No wonder you can’t do it Wasting your energy, Refusing to pull through.
