Nervous Twitch by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI sit
listening to
the many
voices,
howling,
screaming in my mind
I try not to cry
when I hear them
I listen as they
demand that I die
I swallow my pain
I digest my sorrow
I blanket my depravity
with a shroud
my facade of normalacy
I fight the urge to slit my wrist
I try
I try
I try
But sometimes it's not enough
I burst
exploding
exhaling
showering everyone with my melancholy thoughts
But no one notices my insanity
I look just like anyone else
I don't look like myself
I look just like you
