tw: self harm

the darkness is so comforting

i know my cheery then depressed attitudes probably confuse and worry

but i can go from crying and slashing my skin to cracking shitty jokes and laughing with friends

it's so easy for me to switch between all the emotions on the spectrum

my brain changes topics and forgets 'to-do items' in an instant

anxiety and overzealousness and hyperactivity slowly slips

morphs into tired and nihilism and purposelessness

rinse and repeat 

repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat

pervasive thoughts consume once in while

it hasn't visited me for more than a few minutes to an hour a day

i am in purgatory created by my own hand

the dark parts of me treating what little innocence is left like a puppet

this too shall pass, they say

and i will wait until that day

when the sun rises, painting my mind with a yellow red glow

and the demons will flee, if only for the time that the sun shines

we shall not be defeated
