Stab

Blood trickles down my chin, blood from something beating in my chest,

Scream

My voice is loud like a lion, but yet no one hears it; for I don't want anyone to.

Pain

I lay here, broken; like a vase that fell with noone around it.


It isn't heartbreak, it isn’t the past-instead it is something that I don’t recognise, but is familiar with.

Like a foreign friend from over the years, but it hurts.


Something was locked inside of me never to see the light within my brick walls I call a heart.

But now; it seems like the wall has cracked allowing it to slip out.


Why does it want to hurt me?

Why did I hide this feeling from myself?


Who did this, or why did I do this to myself?

Are they the enemy?

Or is the enemy inside of me?

This is about my depression and anxiety. During this time, my anxiety and depression where at its highest. So both of them together ganging up on me was not pleasant.
