Sickness

I feel like I'm all broken up inside
these toxins within me
this sickness which I can't understand
but I think there's more to it
of being hurt
of being alone
and silent for so long
my throat hurts from the silence
and my stomach hurts from the pain
my head is overwhelmed
and my body's broken
it just feels empty
and locked up within itself
