Mental Health Reality....
#WritcoPoemPrompt11
The days were unending as were the nights,
She waited and waited and waited,
But there seemed no hope in sight…
Hours passed for what seemed like days,
Her mind chaos and the voices torture her in multiple ways

Rocking slowly back and forth as nighttime creeps into every corner of her being,
She silently screams inwards at the horrific things she is seeing,
Nobody sees them?!
How can that be?!!!
Wait,...Am I crazy?!
Is it me??!!

Frightened, alone, her nails dig into her skin,
She had no way to escape her mind, or even how to begin,
Racing against the same demons like every night before,
Going nowhere slowly as she realizes she is still a pathetic heap on her floor

Help Me Damnit!!
Don't you hear me screaming at the top of my lungs right now?!
Don't you see me breaking down?!
I mean...How?!
Wait,...Don't You?
Is it me again?
I don't mean to do this, it has been going on since I don't know when

I'm sorry! Please? Don't go away?!
Please?! I am begging!!
Stay!!
No!...Leave! I don't want you here!
I'm sorry! I don't mean that! It's just my stupid fear!
I understand, don't worry, go!
I can't blame people for not staying as I preform this mentally unstable chaotic show
