(WARNING: ADULT THEMES)
"Free"
Description: Poem about the inner workings of someone who combats mental illness. The moments in which the world is loud and the visuals are dull . The poem aims to be a mouth piece for those that get stuck in their head too.

See this pain is all-consuming it’s like fire in my lungs
It’s like fighting with a pencil while the rest of them have guns
Their aim is true
It’s piercing though
And I’m growing so damn tired
With shades of blue
Mind-set askew
And I’m feeling uninspired
This pain is like a bomb for which I have no expertise
For when It ticks and detonates it spreads pain like disease
Tried to diffuse all the explosions but there are some that I have missed
These ones I loathe, I’m watched with those.. I don’t want to exist.
If I could go without inflicting the same pain that I feel,
This wish is not realistic it’s fantasy/ not real
So I’ll push on through as much as I just want to lay down
Fix my head and heal my heart- be more pleasant when around.
I’m trying; really trying if only they could see
I just want out, away from it all. I just want to be free.
