A thunderclap. Rain follows. A sound like rot slaps from your hollow chest. Commuters meerkat, as you challenge the Silence. Prunes for faces, fleeing you. Peeling from your presence. Does it betray you? An unspoken wall. I hope you washed your hands.

Cough
Miles upon miles, Riddled with beds. Tissues and soft hands, To wipe my tears. Piles upon piles, Of blankets and food. A nice, big bowl Of serotonin.

A Wishlist for the Anxious and Depressed
Worried sick on the balcony, Waiting for your return. Drowning in my tears, Longing for comforting words. Screaming into a pillow, Needing someone to calm me. Punching the bed, Expecting someone to hold me back. Eyeing a razor, Wishing for someone to hide it away. Taking my pills, Looking for some sympathy. Hiding in my room, Anticipating a knock on the door. As much as I need you, You'll never see me like this. I don't want my demons To become yours.

When I was 13, I swallowed a fly. It was an accident. I was scared the fly would eat my brains. So I ran to my mum and told her I needed a doctor. She didn't believe me. And so the fly ****** the blood out of my brains. And all my feelings became numb. l.t.

When I was 13
Worries, worries, cramming up my head. I wish I could just take a break. But of course it's not easy, Since everything has been really ****** Maybe I should just bottle, bottle them in, instead. Sigh.
