Poem. Based on a real life story.

​My housemate and I sometimes “play a game” where we choose random words out a book and make a story out of it. Tonight it took me down the nightmare path again..:


I know you’re all talking about me

I know your busy body gossiping ways

What you don’t intimately know

Is my midnight

What I’ve witnessed 

What I’ve experienced

Why I look so haggered all the time

But aren’t they fascinating ,  you ask?

You should have them interpreted, they say

WELL THEY SUCK, OKAY!!


It may be nothing to you but it’s not nothing to me

Never knowing if I’m awake or not

Alive or not

I have no sense of selfhood

I hate my bed

Anything shaped like it

I really hoped it would stop soon

But my brain has retained this way of life now

It’s been too long

People have their happy clappy bohemian yoga ways of thinking I should fix this.

IT DOESNT WORK, OKAY!!

It has no relation. It does not help. It never will

Socialising is physically painful

But I put on that jazz mask

Because I have to

Will I find my four leaf clover?

No.

If it was there it would have shown face by now

There will always be an incident where my subconscious engineers something even more horrific.

I’m sorry if this was depressing correspondence.

It was heavy for me too.
