Thoughts
The timing ticks, tearfully tearing the twigs. They're tangled together, twisted, trying to transform. They try to transfigure them.

Where in Life?
Where in this life do I belong? Where in my life do I belong? When in my life did things change? When in my life will stuff rearrange?

Alone
The despair consumes me as I'm all alone. The hurt I've buried deep inside devours me while I'm alone. No matter who's around, I always am alone.

Numb (Life is Hard)
Trigger Warning: Depression, self-criticism Why the fuck am I so numb? Why do I feel so goddamn dumb? Sometimes I want to be done.

The Monster
I hear the monster under my bed. I see its image inside my head. It always appears to be eerie, never not dark and dreary.

How to Do Stuff with Little to No Motivation
This piece was inspired by a very recent therapy session... Backstory I did not want to attend therapy, despite knowing I need it to control so many aspects of my life... Bipolar disorder, functional neurological disorder, and anxiety are the main ones. I sent an email to my therapist asking if we could cancel because it was a rough morning in neurology for me. He asked if I would like to elaborate and I said sure because I'm me. I simply can't skip therapy due to not feeling up to it... Can I?
