The Sickness

I feel sick
Inside my head 
Inside my soul
My heart feels like an overwhelming bowl
With acid seeping through all of its cracks 
As i try to keep from shattering 
My brain begins to melt as if anything i could’ve thought to help me 
Is escaping 
Between my lips in helpless whispers and quiet sobs 
And as the bowl chips away 
My body wrenches in endless pain
And uncontrollable shaking 
Because I cannot admit 
I am falling to pieces 
Underneath my fingertips 
Which continue to move as if writing will cease my insanity 
Instead my pen speeds up and tries hopelessly to take this sick blank feeling from inside my gut
