So sick in mind,
So sick in heart,
The dark closet becomes home.
Shaking,
Crying,
Afraid again
For no reason.
So sick in mind,
So sick in heart,
My thoughts are winding catacombs.
Gripping,
Slapping,
Hurting myself
To wake up.
So sick in mind,
So sick in heart,
I'm sick in body too.
Blankets,
Stories,
Dim lights,
And simple food.
Small comforts
For my weariness.
So sick in mind,
So sick in heart,
I cannot find my shoes.
Baths,
Warm milk,
Long socks,
And short walks.
Being kind to myself
The way I would a friend.
So sick in mind,
So sick in heart,
But I will find a way.
