Cutting, jabbing, stabbing
Crumbling bones
Soggy muscles
You look healthy, don’t you?
My health is dire, not wealthy
Maybe if you could see the bruises I feel
Shades of struken teal
Maybe if they were blue, purple and green
If the skin burned off
Then you’d believe me
If the tremors were more violent
If my screams were heard in the silent
If my muscles screamed louder
If you could hear the creaking off my joints
Or the persistent poisoning and pounding of my head
I wish honestly I was dead
I don’t know what is happening
I feel as if I’m dying
If I said any different I’d be lying
Suicide attempts
Jumping off dams
How much more until you understand?
There’s a fog swirling around in my brain
What if I crack and go insane?
If you could see the shooting pains as shooting sparks of light
Would you hold me tight?
In the dead numbness of the nightmarish night?
The whole body is a red glow
It’s invisible and only I know
Pretending to be okay
Questioning if I am fake positivity
The cells in my hippocampus are dying
Starving for dopamine and serotonin
If you touched my hand and swapped bodies
If only for a second
Could you feel how heavy of the weight it carries
If you could see the dreaded melancholy greying the hues of my canvas
And the shaking of my out stretched hands
Lying cold dead on a beach, with a bottle and packets rolling across the sand
If my misery made me waste away and disappear
If you knew how I felt the end is near
If the pain swallowed me whole
And you saw my weary decimating magnetic pulling black hole
If the nightmares and sweats of each night became reality
And I never woke up
Maybe then you’d believe me
Damn
Wouldn’t you?
