Dysthymia


Imagine a voice always there
Robbing happiness from the small moments
Marking the bad with permanent etches into your body
Imagine exhaustion so heavy you can’t sleep
It drags with you through the day
Lands heavy into your chest as you lay 
Imagine a mind so wired with hate
Thoughts pummel you with guilt 
Spiral you through the past 
Imagine years of agonizing confusion
Will it always be this way?
Am I the exception? 
Imagine the nightmares and loneliness
You want to both scream out your pain
Let the world know, let them in
Or silence the shame
Hide the wounds with an I’m okay
Tuck away the secrets, put up a front 
Who would understand?
At the end of the day—can you really imagine it?

Monster Slaying

When I step out,  I sense you  I feel the weight of your eyes following me I hear the whispered thoughts even if you don’t scream them ...
