i’m stuck in a deep black whole to deep to swim up for air 

im being suffocated by my thoughts 

these people inside of me they won’t shut up

 

why won’t they shut up

 

please

 

someone please help me

i can’t help myself thee voices are too loud

to strong

to 

real

and like i know they aren’t real but it seems like it you know

my mind is not only the dark clouds before the storm it is the storm 

the thunder the lighting

the whole storm

 

they overpower me

they control me

at first it was a whisper 

then in was a scream

i can’t control it anymore

shut up

shut up 

shut 

up 

 

please

i can’t do this anymore
