Hey [beep], you awake?
Don’t worry, I’m up.
Even though I’m wading,
Neck deep in this rut.
I don’t know why
You keep up this lie
You know it’s false
And it ruins my life
You say you care,
Then set me aflame
With your name given
Just to cause me pain.
[beep]? Yes, Sir.
He’s present, he’s here
Kept alive by your memory
Made out of hate, I fear
Wh...
Awakening
_“Riya, wake up” _
I hear the_ _reminder bounce around in the back of my head, though it is quickly drowned out by blare of the alarms, whining and wailing like raid sirens. I feel the heavy weight of grogginess and exhaustion fall on me as I swing my legs over the side of the stiff, rusty bed frame. But this is what I endure every day. Today is no exception, and I have learned not to expect ther...
Intruder
The voice isn’t stopping. It never stops. It is always in the back of my mind. It never goes away. At first I only heard it the moment I woke up in the morning, but now it never leaves my head. Always pounding its message, like a ticking clock. Today it’s the worst it’s ever been. Today instead of just nagging at the back of my mind, it’s as if it’s the main topic of the conversation. It’s taking ...

Agony 😔🖤
At first, a whisper in the night. Your name it says sweetly. Like it might want you there in its cave. Like a shadow passing below the waves under the boat, sinister and secretive. Or perhaps a shrouded figure standing in the doorway to your room, it’s head slightly tilted. Or the one at the end of your bed, hands tightened around the tools it’s brought along. Initially, the whispers were quiet an...
As The Sun Rises
TW: passive suicidal ideation
Waking up in the morning,
Every day it’s the same
As the sun rises,
Death calls my name
It started with a whisper,
A lulliby in my ear
Saying this can all end,
You don’t have to be here
That I could be squashed,
Like a bug on a wall
That it would be such a relief,
To not be here at all
But as the day goes on,
I climb out of despair
Unintentionally distracted,
Wi...
