Staring Into

Staring into 

Blurred darkness just shadows around

I can see the bright screen, not missing it’s piercing light

A tear sheds and flees from my right cheek

Eyes frantically looking from left to right

Calm heavy breaths

A trauma at my blinding spot

Don’t look there’

‘Don’t think about it, stop’

‘Make it stop’

‘NO'

The twitching begins again

where the lonely stays at your side.

It’s my friend you see 

I smile while typing the pain of a crying yell

listening to the screams of far away anger

Asking meaningless questions.

Why won’t the pain stop even when I’m not wounded.

Why is it getting harder to breathe.

‘Don’t look there’

‘Don’t think about it, stop!’

‘Make it stop’

‘PLEASE NO!’

My heart starts racing unexpectedly at a moving muscle

Chanting and arguments linger along my thoughts.

Words jammed smashing into a disgusting mess

What am I?

Why do I continue even though my fingers get heavier

Slower as I go

Unbelievably fake

DON’T LOOK THERE’

‘DON’T THINK ABOUT IT, PLEASE STOP!’

‘MAKE IT STOP’

Why is the screams stuck on replay?

Why is the invisible wound getting deeper?

Why is there darkness in light?

‘NO! STOP IT’

‘NO NO NO NO NO’

A lock of hair being pulled into another dimension

Eyes weary and unfocused

Hardened hearts with brick old shoulders

‘NO NO PLEASE!!’ 

The screams are at the point of no return

The tears shower my fake smile.

‘NO!’

‘STOP’

‘PLEASE’

It’ll never end

‘NOOO!’

‘NO.'

Just please make it end.
