This Is Why I Stop Laughing Poem by Justin Henry

On this bed, I lie here awake,
your lullaby makes me sleepy,
but i just slip out from my thoughts.

I'm screaming from behind my ribs
My heart is crying inside its prison
I'm going insane.........
so paranoid......
I would be lying to myself if i said I knew everything.
If I knew everything I wouldn't ask so many questions.
mind is blank......
so empty........
Ghost are gathering inside me
Skulls are bleeding tears to drown you.
My lungs fade each time, I try to speak
Your dagger, cuts, it cuts, it makes my gut leak
and now I'm lost
and now I'm wounded
