Poem: Felt so bad for so long.
screaming voices. pain. darkness.
external expression
tangible articulation.
transfixing. destroying. relief.
addiction. destruction.
focus on outer pain
finding the calm
drown out thoughts.
a vicious cycle
powerful.
mesmerising in such darkness
(smothering. despairing. overwhelming hopelessness)
the only way. cut it away.
building up. giving in. desparate.
self hatred. weakness. confusion.
my drug for the falls. For escape.
Scars. guilt.
i tried
really,
just never hard enough....
