CW: a poem about SA

By Mason PinesPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

trapped inside an

intoxicated mind

with no escape

no way of expressing the

fear

disgust

confusion

dead eyes

wide open

anything but an

excited “yes”

is a “no”

but you

apparently

didn’t know

trust is earned

and you tore

it out of me

no words

“did it happen yet”

it never did

your fingers

digging out

the essence

of me

laying there

staring at the ceiling

waiting

praying

to anyone who

would listen

“alright imma head out

and go to bed

see ya later”

no words

thinking but not processing

explaining

“I mean it's not

great but I wouldn’t

go around saying ‘me too’”

ashamed

questioning?

hiding

enveloped

by fear

sad poetry
