Have you ever been somewhere
And it’s so quiet that it hurts your ears?

So quiet that you can hear your blood
pumping through every artery in your body

A steady hum in your eardrums
Plays background to the silent solitude

It’s in those places, at those times,
That I rediscover how much I hate myself

I question everything then:

Who am I?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
What is my purpose?
Is it all worth it?

It’s in those places, at those times,
That I want to be hurt on the outside
The way I hurt on the inside

When the loneliness really settles
On my heart, my mind

A weighted blanket that I’m too weak
To throw off

It’s in those places, at those times,
That I become frightened of myself.
