Misery

My daily life is miserable
But all the same it’s not
I scream and always agonize
There’s stillness in my thoughts

I scream and shout in delight
Or is it fear and pain
I sometimes wonder which of us
Is truly at the reins

Late at night is misery
Midday is alright
Morning is a numb feeling
With speckles of delight

When I seek help I am ok
When I’m alone I’m not
But how can I vocalize 
This disgusting thought

I’m numb with fear
I’m fine again
My guts are spilling now

I’m happy here
Im miserable
Won’t someone let me out

If this is true, I suggest keep writing. It is very cathartic Samantha. If not, very well written. You convinced me!
