It’s here,
It’s frost bitten breath runs
Down my neck
The shadows claw
Digging into my skin
The colour of this demon
Is as dark as an abyss

It fools people,
It twist their minds
Into believing it’s me,
I’m forced to wear it as my skin
That there’s no escape

I hear its whispers
Saying,
Do it,
You’re worthless,
Do it,
no one cares,
Do it,
You won’t be missed

Slowly the whispers
Turn into screams
I distance myself
From the people around me
Because I know that
If I don’t
It’ll be my downfall

I’m tired of people saying
“It’s all in your head”
“It’ll get better”
“I know how you feel”

No,
You don’t

You don’t know my hardship,
You don’t know
What it’s like
To be abandoned,
To be left in the dirt,
By the people
Who are supposed
To love you

I’m scared of
Being abandoned again,
I’m scared of losing my battle…
