Being okay isn't as easy as ig used to be
Demon's scream in my head
Dimming the light behind my eyes
Beasts pounding against my skull
Building a pain that medicine can't remedy
My heart on my stomach
Melting in the stomach acid
Until nothing remains
An empty whole taking its place behind my ribs
Sucking in every inch of my soul
Bags big enough to fill with every bad decision, mistake, and harsh word hang heavy under my eyes
Dry, cracked lips quaking the moment they part
"I'm fine"'s dripping from a liars tongue
Feverish pleading ripping through stitched teeth
Begging me to be strong enough
Strong enough to be okay
