itching
your words gutted me
I can't take my prescription
like a sugar rush addiction
I was too sleepy to get out of bed
to get some tea
to do the things that are right for me
and now I feel so hollow
I'm a tangled basketcase
inside my marrow
I wanna connect all the threads
but I just can't get outta bed
And there is barely breakfast
will a protein shake undo
all this new damage?
and I can't take you not paying attention
did I mention that I didn't buy anything
but all be dammed if I'm not a junkie itching
the smell is slowly getting to me
won't you say some words?
won't you have an answer?
tell me some secret
that stops these waves full halt
bet I could use some chocolate
or a rocketship to escape right out of here
oh, but it's too late
I've set myself to do nothing

If this is autobiographical or not,
it is powerful.. a reminder of how
criticism can harm people
