Scrawled Ramblings
journal 17: mental illness
I miss the medicine

my whole life feels like
an empty book
just days and days of Nothing

but the two-three years I was medicated
I felt Alive

I left the house. I made friends. I played shows. I traveled.

my body feels like an anchor
tethering me to some Unreality
so much of my time is wasted
scratching at my chains
trying to break loose

I want to claw myself apart
there is Something Living Under my skin
& it is pretending to be a Person

on a bad day, it feels like an infection
some crawling parasite

on a really bad day, i feel like I'm possessed

on a good day
I'm driving from passenger seat
adjacent to myself

when we are close
my blood boils
i am overcome with Feverous Impulse
I want to Drink Blood & Howl & Writhe

when we are far apart
I feel nothing
I sit in some air-conditioned waiting room of the mind
watching my life flicker by on the television
most of the time
I just tune out

I miss waking up & feeling like
A Person
