RelapseA Poem by Quinn W
I guess you could say that I've relapsed
From outgoing and confident to an insecure recluse Lies built on lies until I can't remember why I wasn't able to do that thing you told me to do Oh wait... nevermind I was curled up in bed with tears cascading down my cheeks like an overflowing waterfall Watching YouTube and Netflix, distracting myself from my life with others' lives Comparing myself to the people on the screen, made up characters Lies, lies, lies, and more lies so you won't know how I'm feeling inside I laugh and I smile but inside I cry and cower Is the medicine still working? Is it enough? Pop another Xanax, maybe I'll feel better. My hands are shaking. My mind is breaking. Whew. Honesty sucks.
