Be silent they said
It was how I was controlled
Being seen not heard
It was how I was controlled
Being seen not heard

Derailed
I awake for the day
anxiety I do not feel
For a moment, the thoughts
are empty
Go for a walk, visit with friends,
be productive, enjoy the day
With coffee in hand,
I start to plan
A random thought appears,
making itself known
My mind starts to obsess,
pain in the chest
So it begins
down the spiral
I go
Heart rate rises,
fluttering chest begins
Dizziness takes hold,
it will pass I'm told
The edge of the bed
I begin to enter my head
...

So it begins

Heart rate rises,
fluttering chest begins
Dizziness takes hold,
it will pass I'm told
The edge of the bed

The Days That Don’t Exist
There are days,
That hit and miss.
They’re so dark,
A pit bottomless.
These are days,
I often wish,
That I,
Did not exist.
I lie in bed,
Depressed paralysis.
A dream,
That I can’t dismiss.
Disassociate,
I can’t resist.
These are the days,
That don’t exist.
Days that don’t exist,
They’re very spotty.
My memory,
Is very foggy.
I don’t feel attached,
To my body.
I don’t exist;
I am nobody.
I forget,
That I am somebody.
Some...
That hit and miss.
They’re so dark,
A pit bottomless.
These are days,
I often wish,
That I,
Did not exist.
I lie in bed,
Depressed paralysis.
A dream,
That I can’t dismiss.
Disassociate,
I can’t resist.
These are the days,
That don’t exist.
Days that don’t exist,
They’re very spotty.
My memory,
Is very foggy.
I don’t feel attached,
To my body.
I don’t exist;
I am nobody.
I forget,
That I am somebody.
Some...

"Your Name Goes Here"
Dear "______",
We're going to be okay.
But just in case,
I wrote you this note.
When I'm quiet, it's not to shun you,
I'm just at that place in my head.
I'm not even sure that it's within my brain.
It has it's own space, muffling my ears
and glazing my eyes
-It's all reversed, to outside in.
So I go deaf and blind, to many things,
but it's only temporary.
Doctors try to label it,
but I won't sit my ass in their box.
It's too small.
They can't even see the expanse
of all of my thoughts,...
We're going to be okay.
But just in case,
I wrote you this note.
When I'm quiet, it's not to shun you,
I'm just at that place in my head.
I'm not even sure that it's within my brain.
It has it's own space, muffling my ears
and glazing my eyes
-It's all reversed, to outside in.
So I go deaf and blind, to many things,
but it's only temporary.
Doctors try to label it,
but I won't sit my ass in their box.
It's too small.
They can't even see the expanse
of all of my thoughts,...

P T S D-reams
i’m so sick
of seeing
you all
in my dreams
long night
after night
memories
still haunting
and half
of the time
the stories
are all wrong
painting you
in colors
that you
never wore
desires
i dreamt up
wishing you
were more
waking up
thrashing
and yelling
forlorn
those words
i was never
quite able
to say
feelings
i wish
would just
go away
trying to
forgive you
little...

The Weight
cumbersome thoughts awaken me,
make it through the day I say to thee,
what have I become or
have I succumed
is this insanity I ask thee?
I no longer recognize me
why do they not stop,
just let me be
enjoy life I am told,
but the thoughts take hold
I obsess over thoughts,
afraid they will control me
flashbacks of things I have seen,
do not go away
my thoughts awaken me
make it through the day I say to thee,
what have I become or
have I succumed
is this insanity I ask thee?
I no longer recognize me
why do they not stop,
just let me be
enjoy life I am told,
but the thoughts take hold
I obsess over thoughts,
afraid they will control me
flashbacks of things I have seen,
do not go away
my thoughts awaken me

The Hole
down the rabbit hole I go,
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space

The Mirror
looking in the mirror
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,
I leave the room
trying to flee,
only to see the darkness
is waiting on me
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,
I leave the room
trying to flee,
only to see the darkness
is waiting on me

The Oz of Churlish Thoughts
There's so many thoughts in my head
Churling, evil little things, clawing scratching everything
Here and there they go, never standing still
Yes, here again we go and go and go
There's so many thought tornadoes
Taking the pills feels like shooting at the wind
Turning around and shooting you in the stomach
And there goes your previous meal
Thoughts, these thoughts, fuck these thoughts
I can't seem to get away, it feels like rain
Or hail falling down upon my head
I would scream but here I am drowning
Flash floods and...

The chain of pills
I dont want to be on drugs forever
I know my wants don't matter anymore
My blood would kill me the moment I stop
My mind would spiral down to the darkest depths
So I swallow the pills... Of various unlovely colors
Colors of off dark greens, pale browns and sickly egg shell white
They stick to my tongue and cause my face to scrunch up in disgust
I know they make them nasty on purpose
It's so you don't enjoy taking them
But I'll be taking this drug the rest of my life
And who the fuck would take blood thinners for fun
Couldn't...

Anxiety Hurts
Sometimes I find it hard to breath...
New surrounding and different routines makes my hair stand on alert
Unfamiliar places and faces send my mind racing to flee
Bringing light to the green monster named Anxiety upon my shoulder
Causing me to appear nervous and giving me the jitters
Sometimes I find it hard to speak...
People I know and trust but will I say something wrong
Do they find me annoying or think i'm stupid
Anxiety causing me to stutter and grow quiet
Avoiding conversations so I don't make a fool of myself
...
