People wonder why I hate Christmas,
yet here I lie in my bed,
feeling half dead,
and bleeding.
Being blamed for being me and succumbing to depression.
I once said I couldn't cry,
yet here I am,
I've proved myself wrong,
contradicted my claims of solidarity,
screaming ‘till my voice gave in.
My hands are bruised and bleeding.
Slowly breathing to calm my rising anger,
there has been no other time where I thought my sanity had left me,
than this unparalleled Friday,
where I wished I’d gone out and that I never would return,
for fear of scorn and impatience,
for without conscience messing up the kitchen floor,
with clothing and chairs.
I threw them around as if they weren't there.
And I had all but forgotten what I had done,
how my mind was overcome by the annoyance in my voice,
that no one seems to understand.
Even when,
without flinching I wield that razor in my hand,
and proceed to drain away the pain.
The insurmountable anger.
Yet no one understands why I hurt myself,
that’s the only way of letting go the fury tainted blood,
coursing unstoppable through my veins.
I lay here now and write these words and thus,
explain my manic sensibility,
if not to others then at least to myself,
why I act the way I do.
I don’t know how I’m going to manage the rest of the day,
with the prospect of what’s to come,
the tedium of what I have done being discovered.
I lean upon my heart and empty stomach,
and consider sleeping the rest of the nightmare away,
until the apathy decides to leave.
I only hope that when I wake that this would have been delusion,
even though I know this is not so,
As the blade did go in deep.
