I blame insomnia for these sleepless nights

for the nights that my body trembles

shivering in a blanket of lonely

but really it's the war in my mind

the fight in my head

the voices, the screaming

"You're better off dead"

Undeserving, worthless

a good for nothing waste

Kill yourself, get going

You're a waste of space


32 Get Growing (Charlie Vawter)

"Get out from your house,

from your cave, from your car.

From the place that you feel safe,

from the place that you are.

Get out and go funning,

go running, go wild.

Get out from your head

and get growing, dear child."

She locked herself away,

didn't give anyone a key.

She didn't even say goodbye

and was swallowed by the sea.

34

You are delicious

I am greedy

You are generous

i am needy

You are experienced

I am learning

You are a fire

I am burning

She felt it all too much

Every feeling, every emotion

Every kiss, every touch

She could feel the laughter, feel the tears

feel the screaming, the crying

the insufferable beat as her heart is dying

It crawled beneath her skin

boiled, bubbled,

built up

It ate her alive

Consuming her every thought

she was drowning

and I dived beneath the wretched waters

a hand to hold

Though every fragment of her soul fought

and though every once of strength was used

Slipping away into desolate silence,

not a single goodbye

she let go

The girl that felt to much

finally stopped feeling
