Fade to Black

The water downed brown of coffee
stains the torn pages of
a diary lying open— exposed
to the polluted air of a tainted
room and its secrets,
hidden quietly on the walls…
the bed…
the floor…
the window.

Not a tear dares to fall from these
tired eyes, though the thoughts
I can’t ignore are more than enough.
Overwhelming and loud, thoughts of what was—
what never will be—
plague every inch of my body…
my mind…
my soul…
all of me.

Turning the lights off— lying down
on my worn and tired
bed— slamming the diary shut— all
that was my self disappears with the room.
Exhaling— the room—
my exhausted mind— all goes black…
goes black…
goes black…
oh so black.

WHY WHY WHY must I get like this?


I don't even feel like explaining what I mean by "this". It's tiring and if people haven't picked up on it by now then they can all go service themselves in a disease ridden restroom.

I'm not a happy person right now. I wish I could lie and say I was but I am not.

I have been awake since four in the morning, save forty minutes where I had a nightmare in the middle of the day. I worked at Starbucks. I did homework. I worked at Mustard Seed. Came back, did homework and you would THINK I would be asleep right now.

I am not.

I can't even fall asleep.

I have one xanax left which means this panic attack I can feel coming on is not going to be foiled.
I have taken nine Kava Kava pills and I don't feel better.
I have been off my meds for exactly a week now and that weird body-shock-feeling that happens has returned. I'm grinding my teeth. Lashing out. All that jazz.
At least I'm not threatening to kill myself though...that means it's not the depression thats out of control.

UGH. FUCK. ME.

I'm over this. Writing isn't any fun right now...I don't even give a rat's ass about what I just wrote or what it sounds like. It's scattered. I'm complaining. I know all this.
Fuck it. I don't fucking care.

I'm so tempted to get in my car and take off...there's nowhere to go though. Nowhere I could get, at least.

I'll go lay in the dark now I guess. I don't know. I just want a hug.

Oh, the monotony of resuming school is already driving me insane.


I talked to this man at work today who told me it was his first day going back to work in a few months. Naturally I told him I was jealous because the only time I've been out of work for an extended period of time was because of my knee surgery and you know what he told me?

"Sometimes you just have to get away...theres nothing wrong with it, in fact it's healthy. People don't seem to understand that."

That being said, it should be known that I am currently forcing myself to write this because I don't have the option of just running away right now.

IN SHORT, today was not a very good day for me. Okay, no. That's a lie. Today started out really well for me but I've been feeling very...off lately and I guess I've been long overdue one of these days. I haven't felt as terrible as I did today in a about a month and, in all honesty, that's a really long time for me. Anyway, back to my story.

Last semester I was utterly fucked in the head. I laid in bed all day, watching The Wall over and over and over, only to get up at night and drink until I was drunk enough to feel numb. I was going through xanax withdraws, doing even stupider things that I really don't want to admit here and really just trying to fuck things up as much as possible without disrupting the entire order of the world. I gave in to the self-destructive side of me as much as I could and in all honesty it made me feel like...me. If that makes any sense.

So one night, I decided I wanted to be absolutely belligerent- almost to the point of blacking out. Instead, I ended up having a really good night and was some semblance of happy. Unfortunately, "happy" has a way of being extremely short lived with me so (of course) something went wrong and my CA ended up reporting me to some woman who I had to talk to today.

Without getting in to any real detail about the situation, the woman I had to talk to decided that I need to see yet another therapist and be psychologically assessed yet again because I am apparently incapable of coping on my own. The entire thing really pushed me down that rabbit hole I've evaded for so long and I was (and still kind of am) utterly miserable and angry, only not at the woman who decided this or any of that.

Who am I angry at?

ME.

I am SO sick of this crazy thing. In all honesty, it's getting overwhelming again so maybe therapy is a good idea, but I am not in a good mood so I am not going to admit to admitting that. Instead, I am going to say that I have once again reached a point where I can't stand myself. I hate me. I hate me. I hate me. I hate me and I know no one wants to read that or hear it but fuck it. That's how I work. I don't know how long it will last this time, but I know that I cannot ignore the feeling anymore. It's been creeping up on me- despite whatever is going on in my life that I actually do enjoy- and it's finally gotten to me.

UGH. I haven't mentally purged like this in a while but it's not feeling like enough right now. So fuck this. I'm going to go smoke a cigarette and pretend I feel better than I do.

That's all. Fuck this game. I'm angry again. Lovely.
