Unwell

Forgive me for being absent I have been a little unwell
I pretend to be ok so I guess you couldn’t tell
I fight an unknown battle of self loathing and shame
My mind is like a wild animal- impossible to tame
I try to block out all the noise
And function with feminine poise
It’s all a lie catching up with me now
The devil is coming behind me trying to take me down
As I sink into the ocean I try to stay afloat
But alas I cannot swim and sadly I do not have a boat
I’m fighting really hard, I know you cannot tell
Forgive me for being absent I have been a little unwell
