How do you fight when the battle is within you, and every attempt seems doomed to fail, When you thought you were strong, but now you see you're caught in the web of doubt, A stranger in your own skin, searching for a self that once seemed so certain, I try to rise, but I fall again, chasing...

Left at Rockbottom
I walk into my mom’s room, filled with fear, As nausea is bubbling in my core. I say nothing, it’s already clear; I took a b’ttle of pills just like before.

Failed Attempt At Humor

My head pounds. I’d rather eat coffee grounds than listen to your waste of nouns. But heaven forbid you notice this detail. You can’t understand. Your obliviousness astounds. It...
