TRIGGER WARNING

Oh God
I'm numb
The feelings within will
They win the battle that
is exploding in my rib cage

Will my heart explode
In contact of the gun attached
To my chest, the silent bullet
Of pain shattering my barely
Built walls

Will I have to build them
From scratch to keep you
Out, the insanity you bring
Killing the innocent flower
I have bloomed inside my garden

Will the scars on my wrist
Fade into butterflies in the wind
Will we not speak of what I did
As you glare at the damage done
There is not beauty in it

Your words are a scorching heat
You are burning me with your fingertips, your hatred burns deep inside my chest as I vomit words of regret

The mirror dancing around me
As I inhale the gas of illusion
It's image taunting me with my insecurities
Your too fat my dear

My nose bleeds from these
Thoughts, demons claws deep in my mind tearing apart the thread of sane
Thoughts I cradled in my arms
Like the infant I wish I had

The feeling untouched
Like the stretch marks on my skin
From going from too big, too oh god
So thin
I can't escape this madness

My only friend in the voice
Whispering in my ears as I sleep
Her delightful chuckle as she
lifts my chin with her poisonous fingers and places her lips on mine

My mind dazes into fantasy
To far from reality
Dancing along with her creativity
As she shows me every mistake
I ever made

It's all your fault, sweetheart
You will never win
Your life is meaningless
You are a shadow, wishing she was
Bathing in light

Do you know what happens
To shadows who don't
know their place?
They vanish without a trace
Your nothing, my dear

With that she lessens her hold
Around my neck, as my eyes widened
From the drugs that held me captive
Insanity is laughing at the
Hope buried deep inside a cage

She's never going to
let you out
I ruined her, she drinks
my poison into her thoughts
I'm slowly taking control
She whispers

I'm numb
The feeling has buried itself
deep inside my chest cavity
the effects of Insanities
Poison are drawing me in

The feeling of the knife
Touching my skin in empty
where did the feeling go
I'm broken and out of control

I play a part in Insanity's game
She has numbed me from my life's story, I am her shadow bowing down to their master

I am numb, I am broken
I do not belong in the light
Of fake happiness
I am a numb shadow
Who knows her place
In societies game
