Phases (Poem)

Hello :hibiscus:

It’s late and I’m not sure about this one. But it helped me cope so here it is.

:warning: Trigger Warning :warning:

•••

Some nights it’s hard to breath.

Suffocating from the thoughts that won’t let me be.

Some nights I taste the tears coming down like a stream, running with many emotions.

Sadness, anger and grief.

•••

The rubber band around my wrist, snapping against my skin giving me a sense of relief.

I wish it wasn’t like this, but it seems to be the least I can do to keep me from doing anything I may regret.

•••

Then the feeling of emptiness takes over.

Now numb, staring at the ceiling.

Eyelids shut as I play different scenarios in my mind. Picturing a life with endless possibilities and a life that would feel like mine.

•••

Reality hits me once again as I open my eyes.

Realizing my mind is a prison

Filled with thoughts that may never change or go away.
