Don’t leave me alone with myself

Don’t leave me alone with myself

Don’t leave me alone with myself 
I’m not strong enough to defend myself today 
Once you leave, I become her prey 
It doesn’t matter what I say 
She only wants to make me pay 
It’s her only way 
But company keeps her at bay
So please stay  
 
Don’t leave me alone with myself 
I can’t fight, nor can I flee
You can’t outrun what’s inside of you
In the end, she always catches me 
We’re bound together by glue 
Put on headphones, volume on max
It’s only a matter of time before my brain cracks 

Don’t leave me alone with myself 
I can’t cover my ears and ignore her 
When the voice comes from inside my head 
It always starts with a whisper 
Before her screams fill you with dread 
You’re better off dead 
You can’t even get out of bed 
What a miserable life you’ve led 
And it just gets worse up ahead!

Don’t leave me alone with myself 
I can tell she’s in a bad mood 
No matter where I go, I feel pursued
and she never holds back in solitude 
It’s more of a beatdown than a feud
Her spiked bat is merely the prelude 
Basically, I’m pretty screwed 
I don’t mean to intrude 
But if you stayed, you’d have my gratitude 

Don’t leave me alone with myself, please
I’m scared I’ll give in to this disease

Hello sad girl, 

This is a powerful read indeed. You highlight the intricate workings of the mental torture that can leave a person literally feeling like they have monsters in their head. A sense of worthless lays heavy in your lines. You managed to keep the rhythm whilst not hindering on the impactful insight of this experience. So I thank you poetic sister, for crafting a significant subject, that I hope many read in time. 

Thank you for always writing so raw and courageously​​​​​. For choosing to share your work here with us on Cosmo

Awww Sad Girl...how eloquently you write about debilitating depression. Mental illness needs far more understanding than it gets and your poem here does an excellent job of highlighting the disease. Hope you are having a good say today x
