I Wonder

I wonder if they know that the motivation to do anything comes from the drive of not wanting THIS THING to consume me.
I wonder if they can hear my heart pounding with every lie as I claim to be okay.
If you had asked one year ago, it wouldn't have been a lie.
If you asked me now, I'd give a practiced answer that made me cringe with every spiderweb that spilled out of my mouth.
I'm afraid that my lies are going to trickle out of my ears like water one day.
I'm afraid they'll eat me up and tangle me into a thousand knots that I can't untie.
I'm afraid they'll hurt others more than they're hurting me.
I wonder if I'll be able to make it through for one more day.

Help

(Not sure if I posted this before, can't find it on here) I won't ask for it Nor do I expect it (I pray for it) And if offered it I'd probably reject it I scream it.

it's like walking forward. with your eyes closed. it's like trying to turn the lights on. feeling the walls for clues. nothing to help you. except your own brain. but if you use it.

Fake A Smile

You see me smiling. Day in day out. A mask I wear. To keep you all out. Picture perfect. Practiced it for hours. In front of the mirror. So no one suspects a thing.

Axing Anxiety

Derailing dillusions, disaster denied. Portraying illusion through half opened eyes. Conclusions resulting in worry's demise. Reality retrieved from the depths of my mind.
