I feel cold
As the blood in my veins harden like cement causing any task to grow exponentially in its difficulty

I feel cold
As tears build behind a damn that would not allow even a drop to escape until it crumbles to the ground on its final day

I feel cold
As my stomach begins to devour itself in desperation from its starvation all the wile refusing to take in any sustenance

Taunting whispers from a heartbeat so weak you question if it’s actually there or if it’s just more tricks your own mind is torturing you with

It’s back
The shadows have returned
They are ready to drag me beneath the surface that I fought with every breath to escape to
They have reappeared to finish what they started
Today is a dark day, and I hate that today I cannot see how far I’ve come to just get back to normal
Today I feel broken anew
