I really should have noticed.
The way the clothes were starting to stack up.
The way I left my things out of place.
This always happens before I lose myself.
My room starts to mirror my mind.
Cluttered.
Messy.
I should know the signs by now.
Sleeping in.
Going to bed early.
No writing.
No eating.
No water.
No meds.
This is what I do when I am falling apart.
At first it's little things.
Forgetting to brush my teeth.
Skipping moisturizer.
Letting my dishes pile up.
Being tired.
I watch myself like I'm someone else.
I speak to myself like someone I'm trying to save.
And yet here I am yet again.
Falling off the cliff.
