On the borderline

Hideaway 
Hideaway

Put it all in the attic 

Runaway 
Runaway 

From the world when your manic

All your things when your depressed 

Cuz maybe they’ll care when you’re dead. 

Throwaway 
Throwaway 

Those thoughts. You know You’re a god 

Go away
Go away 

From all this, start a million things you’ll never finish. 

Stowaway
Stowaway 

The negativity and overconfidence 

You’ll seem more normal if you do. 

A struggle everyday 
Cuz disorder doesnt go away 
No matter how much booze I drink
No matter all the thoughts I think 

Just think about what you would do 
If you were me, and I was you

Very lyrical the way you’ve done this poem, Izzy. The repetition gives it a nice beat, highlighting unsavoury conditions many individuals live through, but do not voice. I’m happy that you articulated them. Well done. Keep writing to process your thoughts. Soon your writing skills will soar., Ghairo.
