I am

My own friend

I do not need anyone to provide me friendship,

I am my own best friend,

Sounds fun right?,

In the whisper of a third person,

My own monkey on my back,

The sour taste of ignorance,

Trapped in my own bubble,

Until I slumber and continue the cycle,

Wishing this demon would go away,

But it will not reproach,

Leave me stranded in my own thoughts,

And begging for more to follow,

This scary madness,

Is a headache to handle,

A rabbit hole vaporizing my core,

An inch at a time,

Man it is too painful to bare,

Sure I am fine.

Elegy
