I'm not too sure when I stopped functioning. 
Maybe it was when my friends began questioning the amount of vodka bottles I had stashed in the corner of my room and I had to conjure up a make-shift story to tell them instead of admitting to the guilt and denial I was feeling. Maybe it was when the person I cared about the most was too scared to tell me her problems, so she turned to drinking and hanging her legs off of a rooftop; getting closer to flinging herself off every night.  Maybe it was when my own father begged me to talk to him through his spit-fire rage but gave up and uttered the most devastating phrase I've ever heard said to me:
"It's like you're dead." 
Maybe I am dead. Or maybe my brains dead, and I'm just a walking, breathing corpse; not dead, but not living either. Perhaps I was living in a state of dysphoria, uneased with the world, however that seemed too logical and far too easy to believe.
Or maybe I am like this because of him.
