i eat my feelings but i still feel hollow
the taste of nothing sits on my tongue
i drink my hopes and dreams but the cut remains empty
the dehydration hits me like a truck
i blink my eyes but tears still fall
i try to breathe but it hurts my chest like an injury,
an injury to my soul,
causing me to bleed a monochromatic rainbow
i try to succeed, but i fail
the anxiety gets to me like i'm standing on the edge of a cliff
i try to be better, but i can't
no matter what, people will hate me for existing
my positive thoughts are succumbing to the negative ones.
i need a bandage for my shattered heart
i need a bandage for my depraved soul
