i feel the weight on my shoulders
it crushes down on me
it pushes me so low
i can no longer breath
pain shoots through my head
i feel it might explode
this isnt even the worst
of my frequent episodes
soon the pain starts to disapate
it leaves me feeling numb
i lay down on the ground
and wait for whats to come
then when nothing els is comming
and im free to do as i please
i cant seem to move a muscle
to even get up off my knees
so i just remain lying here
as the last of the numbness fades
and think of my continued pain
of the price that i must pay

What a great piece. It’s so understandable. You made it really easy to see where you’re coming from. I hope you keep writing, because this is really good. You should check out some of my stuff. I think you would like it.

But what if that pain seems unintentional but really its not... just pain we want to inflict because we think we deserve so much worse.
