sometimes, the terrifying caress of death seems more comforting than the fucking painful chokehold of life.

sometimes, it seems it's the only way out of this hell.

this hell.

this life.

i have always been told

"things get better" and they never have and never will.

in fact, they got worse, it always gets worse, everything always goes downhill.

things are getting harder.

i peel the skin on my lips

the skin on my fingers

i bite my nails down so i can stop scratching

but the scratching never stops

the pain never stops.

it's pointless to try and make it stop.

why make it stop?
