⪻Poem #24⪼

When everyday I suffocate
and drown in my emotions

I can't tell what time it is
As I'm busy feeding my thoughts: poison

I inhale lies and exhale facade
I refuse to take the medicine, "love"

Everyday the cells in my body lessen
I never know this as to my own body I never listen

Even when I know how painful it is
Why do I want to keep suffering from all this?

How long do I intend to hide,
All the miseries I'm afraid to confront?
There's a limit to how long I could lie,
I don't need to always put on a strong front.
