Swallow It

Am I alive?
Am I a ghost?
I feel so haunted.
I've been trapped in here
with skeletons
hung in my closet

Notice me.
My fingertips drip with the blood I bleed
impossibly
deep I sink into the abyss that lives inside of me
and suddenly
white lightning will shatter the atmosphere
when I blink back the tears
nobody will see me here
isolation is endless as I swallow it

Lumps in my throat
I feel the panic start to rise in my chest
nauseated
when I heave I can feel the darkness strangling me
I wear a mask
even in the good times I feel empty at my core
suicide
always drifting in my conscience
