Stupid shut up Stupid shut up Stupid Stupid STUPID

Idiot I am Idiot I am Imbecile Idiot I know

Listen leave me be Look in Lord punish me Look Out let me not close my eyes

Evil encroaching Evil enveloping Evil encircling me now

Nobody Wants You no No One Would Miss You no Now You Should NO NO NO I WONT

Cut Yourself cease now CUT Yourself CEASE NOW CUT YOURSELF Cant you leave me in peace?

Easy endure this Ease it in enjoy this employ this And Everything Ends

    They way talk to ourselves in silence can really seem very load

  • Kristen Balyeatabout a year ago

    Oh wow. This was heart-wrenching to read! Your formatting is brilliant. So well done, Hannah. Still feel tightness in my chest.

  • Testabout a year ago

    This feels like that internal battle one might have with their self-doubt/ anxiety... Now it's my turn for a big sigh... well done Hannah!!

    OOF! No punches pulled 😲

    Wow. This one is a real gut punch.

    Gosh. This was so bleakly brilliant. I think it’s easy to be so cruel and unforgiving to yourself. So well written.

  • Heather Zieffle 2 years ago

    Very well written! Internal struggles with self are always so silent!

  • Powerful and darkly creative

  • Leslie Writes2 years ago

    That was frightening! Very well executed!

  • A well-wrought description of the internal struggle!

  • That's how the voices in my head sound like. You portrayed it perfectly!

    Everything...okay?

    Fantastic! Great idea

    No one is ever as cruel to ourselves as we are. This is written as if lived (I hope that’s not the case). It hurts just to think that this is reality for so many who cannot find the pathway to self-love. Amazing poem, Hannah!

    oh fu... this is so.. heavy and raw... without being sensationalised! well done! never cease to amaze and impress me!

    Omg, what a peek into a suicidal mind! Many people who go through it (including my cousin who survived a suicide attempt) describe it exactly like this: as if there's another demonic voice in their head taunting them relentlessly.

  • Horrific ... I can imagine this not only as internal dialogue but social media pounding away ...

  • D.K. Shepard2 years ago

    Very heavy. Hard to read and I imagine hard to write. Really powerful piece, Hannah

  • JBaz2 years ago

    Hard hitting. More than a little sad. Very well done and a co tender for sure

  • Cathy holmes2 years ago

    Jesus, that was raw. The internal struggle. Really well done.

  • Oh, how incredibly sad and heartbreaking
