i shouldn’t be here in this fucked up nightmare
a place as empty and hollow
as i feel within myself
you drove me to this
with your
incessant selfish victim mentality
and your
caustic, toxic hyde projection
the part that hides
in the bottom
of a poison vessel
it makes me fucking hate
everything
i want to love
including you
and i’m so fucking sorry
but i’m not fucking sorry
i fucking hate myself
what kind of being worth anything
would do the things i do
feel the things i feel
say the things i say
i’m a turgid piece of shit
birthed from your disease
and i’m so fucking sorry
i’m not fucking sorry.

[This piece was culled from some journal entries made during a stay in a psychiatric hospital mid-2019, which was then the inspiration for a track by my experimental noise project Digressed Mind, on the album Things Of An Oppressive Nature. It deals with some very specific, raw and primal emotions I was trying to reconcile at that time, but also speaks to the universality of mental illness and addiction that so many people must deal with.]
