12:03 am

i am within the hours of not existing. i am lonely but my house is full and my messages are flooding. i am lonely not alone. i am surrounded by angels and i am in heaven but it feels as if there are chains latched to my ankles and i am being pulled deeper into my own personal hell. it feels like i am my own enemy and i am digging my own grave, so deep that i could never be unburied. i feel like a never-ending sinkhole that won't just disappear and leave people alone. i feel like a burden.
i am the lint on your black pants
i am the stain on your shirt
i am the homework you did not do
i am the food you threw away
i am the class that you hate
i am everything that  is wrong with myself
i feel like i am black coffee and the only person willing to give me a chance ran out of creamer.

i cannot escapes my own shadows. they are everywhere
in my mind
heart
lungs
skin
mirror
words
every breath i take is haunted my by own shadow
no matter how hard i squeeze my eyes shut or how many times i blink and pinch myself, i can never wake up from the never ending nightmare that is myself. i can never escape my own being. i want to be myself, not the person i have become .
the person in the mirror isn't me.
