                                              My mental illness.
                          A voice on my shoulder.
                          A pushy father figure I can never please.

                          White noise and static constantly consume my being.
                          Are you really even living in this constant state of sadness?
                          I dance with death daily.
                          We have rehearsed the routine daily.
                          I mess up the steps repeatedly.
                          Mistakes turn into anger.
                          Anger turns into blood... My blood.
                          Suddenly I am a galaxy.
                          My failures, simply makeshift constellations.
                          As chemicals assault my brain I realise this is merely a supernova.
