I sit in this house while the world keeps moving without me. Same walls, same stale cold air, same clock chewing through hours like it's got somewhere better to be. Everyone else seems to have a script... a plan for life. Places to go. People waiting for them. I just pace between rooms like a ghost ...
I scroll until my thumb aches, watching other people exist effortlessly. Smiling. Touching. Being wanted. It feels obscene, like I'm spying on a species I don't belong to. I constantly watch the world turn without me... like I'm punishing myself.
The urge crawls in when it gets quiet. Not a suggestion. A demand. It tells me I'm fake for staying clean, that all this restraint proves nothing except how weak I am. It whispers that destruction is the only thing I'm good at, the only thing that's ever worked. That I deserve to be marked by the damage... that I need to show the world the pain I feel ...
I want to tear myself down to the the bone... down to the very fucking atoms. Break something permanent. I crave seeing the my life drip from me and coagulate on the floor as I fall and make my place in my own pool of blood.Do something irreversible just to feel alive one last time.
I don't even want happiness anymore. I want silence. I want the noise in my head to shut up for five FUCKING minutes. I want to stop feeling like I'm pressed against shards of broken glass, ... tired of these third degree burns that cant be seen by anyone else but me..
Being alone like this makes the thoughts louder. They echo. They stack. They convince me that disappearing would be a mercy not to me but to everyone else, that hurting myself is the closest thing to honesty I have left. And the worst part is how convincing it sounds when I'm tired enough. These voices calling my name and convincing me that everyone is against me ... I can't trust anyone anymore... especially not myself.
I sit here knowing I've survived myself over and over, and somehow that doesn't help. It just makes me feel like I'm stuck doing this forever.... I've already made hell for myself and it's here.
