the doc's say im sick but its a conspiercy theory
there is an under verse waiting for me.
deep depression slithers in this shell of a body
snakes bugs rats and guts fester inside me
toxic holocaust reaction meltdown what's left of me
you can't understand how powerful it is
this P.T.S.D skitzo-affective manic depression that is
it consumes me
eats me
riddles my body
leaving me empty.
the health effects of this mental illness are unknown, but I can tell you it destroys me more than the dope
maybe the addiction is a byproduct of this sickness, but I don't dwell on or the origins of it.
it's there to stay within me
pushing the ones I love away
and far away from me
keeping me isolated
so it can have its way with me
endlessly .
internally
it will torture me
I try not to take it out on the ones I love,
but only two
have ever existed for me,
you say what about your blood family?
fuck those bitches
I'll sew them together
to make a nice winter blanket
their soft skins soothing me
hey look my mom's tattoo
I remember when she got that too.
I knew you had a purpose mom
thanks a lot to
now I scan the skins
looking for the rest of my kin
playing connect the dots.
like I was a kid again
