I am a stranger in my own mind
I curse myself every time I think
as each emotion slips out of my grasp
as thoughts of suicide rake my brain
and my loneliness crashes upon me
I am a stranger in my own body
dragging a blade across my skin
my eyes wet with tears
shaking from fear of my hands
weak from exhaustion
I am a stranger in my own home
unknown to my family
gaped at as I pass
glass shattering as they approach
fore I am a creature they can not recognize
I have become a stranger
isolated by my illness
suffocated by my emotions
mutilated by my thoughts
clawing for air
but drowning in water
