The ancient Warrior lay on his bed and shivered As the Ghosts of long killed Enemies Returned to haunt him, And the throw from a spear-long-turned-to-dust Finally killed him.

have you ever felt your memories crawl up your throat?
the pain of each nightmare coming afloat.
the flashbacks swallow you whole.
there's no hope for your soul.
do you live your terrors day after day?
the corrupted thoughts won't go away.
its blade slices your skin
allowing the bad thoughts in.
save me.
hear me.
pull me from this pit
please, before i quit.
give up on this.
it's them you'll miss.
release me
subdue me
please let me be free.

My father hid himself
within the smoke
underneath my ribcage
Sometimes he rattles his fingers
underneath my bones
and squirms his hands
around my ticker
He taught the monster under my bed
to crawl under my skin
and stick his filthy fingers
in the cracks of my brain
and break it in half
His name echoes the canals of my ears
and his shadow haunts every step
I wish I could’ve made

breaking apart in
bits of Styrofoam; please use
to pack up your holes
fragile: handle
carefully, my body says;
i stopped listening

Even when my skull vibrates from the screaming in my head.
I will wrap my sturdy arms around me, fear and all, fear especially.
I will whisper, quiet but sure "I will not hurt myself the way they did."
I.
Will.
NOT.
Hurt.
Myself!

It was a bad night last night
My tear stained cheeks
and sliced up wrists
can vouch.
I never know what I'm thinking anymore...
Or why.
I just know that I am.
It's scary,
You know...
Being like this.
I get scared,
and other people get scared.
More often than not,
I can't control these thoughts...
These protruding and unwelcome thoughts
but I don't know what to do.
I never know what to do anymore.
I just know that I've had a lot of bad nights lately.
A lot of them.
But I don't know what to do.
