a poem
i wrote a poem i guess...
I'm not scared, just numb
Numb from feeling, Done with it all
Some say I'm just dumb
But that's not it at all
Voices are loud, but my head is louder
That void feeling is taking over
It's over, I surrender
But it's as if I can't, like I'm some poser
They say to talk about it, but how will that make it better?
Why can't I bury it? For forever
But that won't work, I’m my own tormenter
And that means it won't ever be over
I can't stop the feeling
The crimson lines keep appearing as if by magic
But I can't keep going
Next thing you know, the news reports will be tragic
My smile hides the truth
My mouth lies
Like no one can see the myth
As if the words aren't cries
Is it real? Or am I just faking?
Trying to be something im not
But can't you see I'm trying?
It's just a thought

I am my own tormentor 🥺
That speaks volumes.
I know talking about things is not a magic recipe or wand, but it takes the intensity out of it, shoving it down doesn't allow you to heal or process, it doesn't go away. When I overthink I put on my headphones and drown the voices out and the external noise. Just because others don't understand what you feel doesn't mean you are faking anything. All you can do is your best.
Thank you for sharing.
Your poem is open ended.
Honest.
Reflective.
