mental illness


it never stops

the noise within 

no breaks

no holidays

no timeouts 

Consistency 

Intensity

waves of volume weigh me down

particular voices come to mind

always pessimestic

constant fear

creeping anxieties

i am unstable in the eyes of society

forced into fighting a irreversible battle 

i can not win

this is my forever
