(I'm ready) Don't have a diary entry per day of the lockdown Won't remember the point I got dishevelled and unsound Can't think about the After, the Later, or the Normal That allegedly comes when the storm clouds are over Cast and dissipating I can feel my lips shaking In the gales of my breath Testing speeds of exhaling I inhale I'm exhaling I'm in hell I'm ex-Eilidh Lost myself, so I cope Pump my lungs full of smoke What a joke that I have to myself With the hope of a note slipped into my chest With a word or a vibe or a moment or a line I need it, urgent Affection urgently In glass, I'll be here waiting I can't take this silence I get violent quickly With myself, and the walls, and whatever would break me The floor is perfectly cold but a fist through the door That would probably hold Is my target Sleeves rolled and restrained Open hands gravitating towards I won't miss it I'll strike with the side of my wrist to the bone It'll echo through my fingers And bounce off the wood, understood to be lazily aiming for my temples You know where to hit when the storm wouldn't it where you placed it Always missing the mark, I lost patience Why won't it sit where I placed it? Why won't it sit where I placed it? Why won't it sit where I placed it? I place it to the back of my brain I'm couch bound today I can't face another doorways lined with sayings For a tempting pain It looks the same as before when I knocked on wood I used to call it self-harm, but a dunt to the arm, doesn't count Right. Right? And if I hit my head I'm just clearing cob-webs that make today feel like a fight. I know I'm walking on thin ice Don't always know when to stop when the fists take flight But it's just a lay-by tonight, I'll let you know when I'm not alright You know where to hit when the storm wouldn't sit where you place it Always missing the mark, I lost patience Why won't it sit where I placed it? Why won't it sit where I placed it? I commit to the TV Put my focus on movies Through screen as a means of blinding The screams rage forth and carry out their course Of loneliness, cementing I'll take another 6 hours of losing sleep To the jay in my hand, I'll always keep Relighting and fighting an urge to creep On those old thoughts that start to seep, deep Into the playground I go with my inner child moving desperate and slow Pick through the thickets and the missteps on sticks That creak from the weight Of their tiny feet I was slow to react to the fact that the world had gone tits up And it took no time for the bars and cafe's and windows to shut Down, I stood in an empty town saying What the f*ck This really sucks My cup overfloweth and I really shoulda known this human would be out of luck On my phone too much Social media a crutch for the need to be seen and heard and such While still inhaling and ignoring the burn of creeping acid reflux I'm forgetting lunch and dinner and the other one The sun comes up, but you know what I'm already done I'm sick cause I'm hungry and I'm sick cause I'm smoking and I'm sick cause I'm sleepy and I'm sick cause someone's triggering My PTSD, it's surging and I'm sick of my emotions causing my head to swell And my grinding jaw muscles to tense From a storm that didn't listen and began to grow incensed I meant to free it sooner but the weathers looking darker And this just might be safer I had to know when to quit when the storm didn't sit where I placed it Never keeping it in, I found patience It didn't sit where I placed it A storm doesn't sit where you place it I got gracious, for feeling at all in isolation Only pockets of dissociation Don't have to chase a storm down every second It's a learning process A storm won't quit if I chase it But if I slow down then I got this At least I'm not numb yet, I can take this For a limited time, I can take this Until I just can't I can take this A storm doesn't quit if you chase it A storm doesn't quit if you chase it
