I can feel my bones rattling
Like my teeth during a chilly day

I can feel my heart breaking
Like a expensive vase shattering

I can feel my mind crumbling
Like a never ending sinkhole

I feel everything and nothing all at once
How is that possible?
How is it possible to be this bottomless?

I'm back in The Pit I somehow crawled out of
The Pit I dug myself into so long ago
But I fear I will never make it back to safety
And that I will be stuck here for eternity

My only advantage is knowing this time around
I remember what it's like to be in the dark
So cold and alone
I promised myself I'd never fall in again
But look at where we are now.

I'm trying too hard
I'm not trying enough.
Leave the house
Don't.
Make up your mind.
I can't.

My bones are rattling
My heart is breaking
My mind is crumbling.
But my shell of a body still manages to stand
Stand tall and proud
No one will know you're hurting.

I'm empty and cold
Just like the place I've buried my soul.
I don't belong here
But the demons tell me "you do, my dear"
There is no love
And my body feels only like a glove.
I can't move, I can't think
Someone please take me to my shrink.





I'm never going to get out of here.
