by acid

when the roots of all your problems are just your inner wars, only between you and your darkest thoughts.

in a room of darkness where memories are stored, they are used as weapons— that harm you most. chained you down with doubts and loathe.

left you bare— begging in a language that echoes. seal your lips with seals of silence—

taunting your mind with failures and lost chances,

as you scream to be freed upon this torturous dream as you realise that it is only reality,

grown by only— yours truly.

from a small seed of hate and insecurity—

it bloomed,

into a flower of poisonous acid.
