It Feeds
Turns out the joke's on me yet again...
Monsters don't really disappear when the light comes on.
And they don't hide when you shine the light on them either.
No. Instead they rise up, and grow to fill the space that was created by spotlighting it and become ready-
Ready to be the star of a show that you helped to curate.
I thought for certainty that talking to you about my suicide would somehow alleviate it in some way...
but it didn't...
I actually feel more like I'm recessing further since we spoke about this
Like I just let the demons out to run a muck instead of putting them down to rest.
So instead of hurting me when I'm alone it happens any time now.
When ever it likes
It feeds
and I feel it eating me...
and I want it to.
