Ticking Time Bomb
I have fallen down, down this well,
a well of dark never-ending worthlessness.
The deeper I get the more darkness overwhelms me,
as the comments and harmful thoughts
run in circles wrapping round and round.
It’s giving me a headache,
The emotional pain piercing through my head.
I bleed on the inside yet showing no physical evidence.
The headaches getting worse.
Vision blurring,
recurring thoughts,
heart racing,
breath thickening.
Is this what it feels like to die?
I feel like a ticking time bomb about to go off any second.
The fear of being lost consumes me,
I feel like I'm suffocating but I cant move I’m stuck,
stuck in time.
Frozen,
frozen in this moment.
Nowhere to go, no one to talk to,
no one to see me through this dark scary well.
But then again,
who would talk to a ticking time bomb anyway?
