Healing is scary

 How can I admit

That I don’t want to par take in life right now

That the pressure and constraints of everyday

Feel like twisting and turning in my stomach and head

And that I look at other people who laugh and smile

And feel nothing but confused as to how they seem to feel so at ease

Because this world overwhelms me

And I cannot find the balance

I can’t seem to slow down and calm the unrest

And everytime it leads to such distress 

And I want to say that I am tired, tired of trying to fit in

Constantly trying to please and appease. 



How can I admit that sometimes it is easier

To simply withdraw

To give myself over to an illness

That I know wants to steal my soul. 

How can I admit that I want that emptiness

Because it feels calmer than the war

That the numb, quiet, self destruction feels safer

Than this world, than people, and correlating uproar.
