my brain in a nutshell
I don't want to eat
I can't sleep
my heart has withdrawn so far my body can't feel it
and its cries for you
I don't know what day it is
or even the pathetic time
hell, where am I?
I've never known pain like this
It feels endless
its echos are so loud in my head
that my ears ring
and I can't hear them telling me
"get out of bed"
"you have to try"
"you don't do enough"
"all you do is cause problems"
I don't want to.
the air is to heavy for my lungs
I'd rather let go
it would be so easy.
