I'm not doing so good

 Everyone tells me how well I am doing 

Bravo, well done, you're one of our best patients.

Taking her feed

sitting in bed

clearly she's fine

level in the head. 


I wish I could communicate 

the storm deep inside

that is raging and warring and causing so much riptide.

That is tearing me apart

and shouting me down

the guilt erupting from every inch of my body and brain

and you look at me and

say well done

and I attempt to refrain


from shouting, screaming at the top of my lungs

this is painful and it hurts. 

And I want it to stop. 

I am not okay, 

I'm not going well,

I am trapped in a hell, condemned.
