Short Depressing Poems

Get Away

I can feel you scratching at my skin.
Creeping in.
I'm trying to fight but I can hardly stand.
So I pretend.
Its hard to see when everything is dark.
I won't get far.

Get away from me,
The walls are closing in.

I hack and saw at my skin
Hoping to feel something.

The pain is so surreal
I'm slipping in and out.

Why won't you go away
So I can hear my own damned voice.

You scream and shout so much
You never say anything.

Get away from me,
The walls are closing in.
