I'm Fine

"Oh I'm fine!"

You say that as your lips go numb, head goes blank

You're chest is filled with an inexplicable black void

"I don't have a problem!"

You say that as you chug another bottle

2 turns to 4, 4 turns to 36, 36 turns to 1800

You're crying your eyes out

As the ataxia breaks your mobility at 3 am

and all you can do to stop it is

scribble repeatedly in your notebook for an hour

just to try to not lose control of yourself

"Nothing's wrong!"

But you're trembling and can't stay balanced

All you're focus is gone and you hallucinate screams

You hack and cough but as long as reality gone it doesn't matter

You smell like cheap plastic, and you can't even walk anymore

but

"Everything's okay!"

You exclaim as you're being driven to the emergency room

because you're bladder and kidneys are shutting down

You puke up red and urinate red but oh

You say in a scratchy weak voice,

"Don't worry about me!"

You're sentences glitch and your body is fighting back seizures

You can barely breathe and your heart beat is nothing

but a weak pulse

You're fatigued all the time and lose track of time

Inside your screaming for help

Begging for any way to escape this pain

This endless cycle of

Depression, chug two bottles, leave reality,

then feel the consequences.

"I'm happy!"

But your parents are screaming and crying, wondering

Why the fuck you'd do this to yourself, to them.

You're memory is shot and you can barely eat,

everything making you sick and puke.

Oh but you're so fine, aren't you?
