Going mad

Im not living my life

im just trying to kill time 

I havent felt good in a long time

it seems to be some kind of depression but i refuse any medication

i wake up crying and fall asleep same way

i have hard time keeping my face from dropping on the floor in a puddle of blood

i really want to no longer feel the burden 

i am the burden 

Burden that is me and everything about me

mirror reflection looks at me with souless expression 

like a doll it seems to be dreadfully odd and strange yet not a living being 

Strange type of  teryffing being 

I want to pull my skin off and forget that i ever had  it on my face 

People whisper things about me that i deem as unkind yet they claim as harsh truth

who is right and who is wrong? we will never know

Beacusse I mearly exist in my own head and not to anyone else

like a ghost i simply wander around 

attempting to hide my shameful existence from everyone else

as they look at me and laugh while i try not to attack

What do i get for my kindess?

laughs and disgust from the side of their eyes

They find my dripping bloody face amusing 

its so incredibly amusing 

i think im going mad, talking to myself about life and death

about looks and peronality

about love and hate

i dont know what to say

All i know is that i and everyone else hate myself and wish death upon my face
