When everyday is 31/10
I was going to save this poem for later, but I couldn’t wait to post it
i know that halloween is right around the corner
but i am more scared of my disorders
i know a few girls who are more horrifying than ghosts, zombies and clowns
when it comes to monsters they all share the crown
they slam me with the harsh facts and truth
so let me introduce…
they are the terrifying voices who live in my head
holding me hostage with a gun. threatening to “shoot me dead”
one of them is called depression
she is filled to the top with aggression
next we have anxiety
her favourite phrase to yell at me is “shut up and sit quietly”
and finally post traumatic stress disorder
she never misses a chance to make me relive the trauma
i live in constant fear
wearing a mask everyday of the year
their voices are frightening and spooky
this is a real life horror movie
