Static, whether in front my eyelids or on a box screen tv

It’s drowning

To never conclude the ongoing thought within my head

Is this real?


Blood, underneath my skin and yet closer to my hands than I have yet to comprehend

It’s pouring

Dripping down my skin and only to answer one thing

I am here


Time, stopping and starting as if someone familiar holds a remote

It’s tiring

Known for not trying, when not able to do is frustrating

‘I don’t remember’


What can only be said in rhymes, makes up for what is said unspoken


Dreams fade quickly into another dream yet one may be in a waking state. 

I will never know

My eyes open yet the feeling has a chokehold on my mind

Did that really happen?


Pills, though I have yet a collection; on the contrary I have yet a resolution

It hurts

To know that my mirror may always stay defective

Who is this?


Nothing feels right anymore

The static pulls me in for the second time this night

Will I wake up again?

Why?

Mental Health has always been a struggle. No matter what, it can get worse or better; while each fight is different. They all can share the same thoughts.
