Alone
the feeling of everything
it never stops
the voices of pain never cease
all in my head
want it to end

she
"makes it up"
"seeks attention"
"blows things out of proportion"

monsters no longer live in the closet
they dwell in a much darker place
they fight and dig and scratch within my own mind

insanity

heart pumps slower with each thought

want it to stop

perfect life defined by possessions and status
defined by emptiness
nothing

put up a good front
scream for someone to notice
beg for companionship
everyone leaves

I'm just tired
I understand
I'm fine

perfect lies
too believable
it hurts beyond comparison

need hope
need help
save me

for I cannot do it alone
believe me
I tried
