Lie Motionless

There is hope for recovery from all this, but it can feel so far away…
Lie motionless
Until you come up for air.
Be lifeless,
Drown in the futility of it all.
Shut yourself off
And hate yourself.
Close your eyes
And there you are
In your forest
That is anything but yours.
You are lost in it.
Your screams are piercing
But no one hears.
The twigs scratch your heels
But no one nurses.
You collapse into a pain,
Hateful tears sting,
Empty and pitiless.
Drown in the futility
Of it all.
You are loveless
And you are cold.
There is no warm left in you.
