Today I Died a Little Inside, Again

 Today I died a little inside, again.

I went to the salon.

I don't wanna be dramatic, but I think that is what death looks like.
The signs were there.

My heartbeat skyrocketed, it went really rapid,
fast, and rapid, and fast.
Then somewhere, something went beep-beep,
I swear I heard it.

The biggest sign was the lack of oxygen in my lungs,
Residual Volume = 0.

I can't breathe.
Wait,

Then I saw myself from somewhere far up, or was it far below?

Next I think I got lost somewhere.
Don't remember;
For how long?
Where'd I go?
What brought me back?

Am I back?
Or. Am. I. Still. There?
Where is there?

I don't remember much but,
I think a second later someone shoved a rock down my throat.
I think it was a rock,
I'm not sure what it was,
Tasted like pennies somehow.

I smell antiseptic, and...
something pricks,
something...hurts.

It's okay now,
I'm back.
On borrowed time, of course!

 I'm so tired... I know I always say that. But if I'm being honest, I don't know any other sentence or combination of words to express those feelings I'm always feeling. I had a good cry today, but it's left me feeling drained, and yet I wasn't able to let all of my tears out, so now I feel like crying, but I'm too exhausted to. Yesterday I went over to my friend's place, and I wanted to tell her about my shit, but she was too bright and chipper. I didn't want to ruin her mood, so I didn't. Now I'm sitting here regretting not letting it all out because I feel my metaphorical bottle overflowing slowly.

monthly rant

  So update: shit did indeed get worse...i relapsed again AND i know i say this all the time and every time i try not to pull again but i fail obviously and this time i think its worse than it ever was before or i guess so...im forgetting so easily these days like bruh i dont even remember what happened last week..the days are turning into a big blur...and yes ik its not healthy BUT on the bright side...i actually found something i feel relaxed while doing it....sketching. It actually started with reading mangas and watching anime, then i started drawing my fav characters from the said manga- yup, Jujutsu Kaisen- and now im obsessed. So yeah. BUT again since i actually liked it and wanted to do more but it is starting to feel like a chore so nowim kinda lacking motivation there too, cant draw at home, the little brat i have as a sibling who keeps telling on me (i dont want unnecessary attention) and at school i barely get time ugh. but back on the topic, I CANT FREAKING STOP PULLIN...

Empires In My Eyes

  These almond eyes, kind of dreamy you'd think I was sleepy They see everything; they hide nothing. These eyes, the mysteries they hold when cared for, are a sight to behold So small, they might seem look carefully, you'll see the oceans gleam. Lashes thick and long pulling you in like a siren's song Stare into my eyes; I'll show you heavenly skies. The darkest of brown hard to detect, however, is it's black crown My eyes are my favorite part, so I pay homage, work of art.  Not for how they make you feel  but for all the truths they still conceal. P.S: also fr a contest.
