I didn't know you could
overdose on pain
but right now im realizing what it means
when the pain is so strong
so intoxicating that it overwhelms you?
how do you get so high on pain
that you can't feel anything
when the pain takes over
every cell of your body
and you just. go. numb.
i didn't know it could be like this
so much all at once
and it's drowning me
taking me down into the depths
i can't tell which way is up
surrounded on every side
and everyone is telling me
all the things I don't wanna hear
how do i escape
when it's all in my head?
i thought letting it consume me
was going to make it easier to bear
and now im stuck in the ocean
trying to find something to
hold onto but there's nothing for miles
im running on empty
im running on adrenaline
im fighting back now but
it's a losing battle
where do i go from here?
rock bottom, that's what this is called
and supposedly I can only go up right?
then why do i see the bottom beneath me
even as I sink deeper into this pit of despair
it's black all around me and I can't see
which way is up
which way is down
how do i get out
why can't i make a sound
im screaming for help
and no one sees
or if they see me
they pretend to be
busier with things
far more important than me
