Catharsis

viii

They're monsters

Not under my
Bed
But in my head

In the day
They turn my
Happiness into
Sadness

At night
I'm sleepless
From all of
The paranoia

They give me
Sometimes they keep
Me from screaming
And moving

While whispering
In my ear
While I'm
Asleep

Some days
I'm able to
Overcome them

Some days
I feel
Like they're
Killing me

As we speak

I lose motivation
To do my
Favorite things

I find myself
Pessimistic every
Minute

I feel insecure
Over the littlest
Things to
The point

Where I
Want to hide
Myself from
The world

Some days I
Feel like
Everyone is
Constantly staring at me

Or that
Something is
Seriously wrong with
Me and that

I'm a mistake

Some days I'm
Afraid to go
Out into
The world

To live and be me

I feel
So trapped in
This mental prison
To the point
Where I

Feel like
Someone threw away
The key
And that

I can't
Be free

Someone please tell
Me my purpose
In this world
Before I lose

All sanity

I'm so lost
That I feel
Like I can't
Be found

Where am I goimg?
