I cannot sleep
Once again.
I lie awake
Wishing I could see
The stars.
Instead I see
This room and
Its hideous orange walls.
The walls seem to move
Closing in around me.
I’m so accustomed
To these bouts of
Insomnia
That I no longer
Question
When I start
To laugh hysterically.
On the walls
My mom’s paintings
Seem to laugh back.
Author's Note: I am a therian, and I have four theriotypes; a leopard, an owl, a dolphin, and a horse. Because of this, I have the nickname, "Lowldorse".
(Sometimes)
Life just seems much too hard
(Sometimes)
I don't want to go on
(Sometimes)
I feel like it's impossible-
Immovable walls surround me
(Sometimes)
I don't understand other folks-
I love you yet
I can’t stand you
I need you yet
I push you away
I treasure you yet
I want to leave
You’re a liar who
Broke my heart
And
You’re the very thing that might
