haunting guilt stuck in my throat, refusing to let me breathe.
my breath shortens, hyperventilation.
a fire lights in my body.
i can't do it.
i hate myself, but i continue to push on every day with this beast that lives inside, conquering my soul, whispering its inner thoughts, and warping my mind.
i need help, but no one will reach out to me.
i'm long gone, lost in my head.
this creature won't let me be,
this creature won't let me live.
