devestatingly honest

sometimes. 
i don’t know how to be happy.

i am filled with disappointment,
filled with fear.

good cannot live here. 

thoughts defeat me,
and my character is destroyed.
blinded in a darkness,
that chokes my breath. 
i am filled with distress.

and all this loss.
comes out in tears.

i get scared, 
because in these moments,
i don’t want to live.
& i hate myself,
for not being able to maneuver,
in this world,
with other people,
who are not my enemy.

i can admit that.
the problem is not them,
it is me.

i can’t hold onto the victory long enough,
and i let everything go,
my hope and my goals. 


after that, nothing is what’s left.
