Sick
Stuck in the corner of this bare room,
nauseous and trying to breathe without moving.
Sick with my own disease,
too much of me
and not enough of anyone else.
My head pounds,
I've been staring at this screen
for too God-damned long—
and only He knows when I'll quit.
Quit what? Take your pick...
Self-sabotaging? Leaving her?
Dosing myself with this disease?
One thing's for sure. I'm beginning to lose
the line between whether I should stop
dropping myself to the concrete
or stop picking myself up after.
