It Is

It is nothing, and it is everything.

It's lying awake at night with a racing mind,
It's starving yourself because you can't go eat alone,
It's a fear of everything and a fear of nothingness,
It's staring at the medicine cabinet when no one is home.

It's a pain that aches in every inch of your body,
It's a numbness that makes you forget who you are,
It's isolation, nightmare, forgetfulness, and flood,
It's a battle you lose that leaves you covered in scars.

Some struggles are fought alone.

Internal struggle is hard to defeat. Your description in the poetry. Strong and telling. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Being alone is like lost in wast ocean.
It is horrific and painful.
An excellent write dear friend.

This is very deep Gabi :) I loved the darkness in the thoughts, the desperation in the voice. It was beautiful and you are an awesome writer :)

I've never experienced anything like that so I can only imagine how horrible it must be. Your descriptions are scary.
