Melting
As the wicked witch would say
Im melting
Melting in my false reality
Melting in my skin
As i age what was once considered “too much”
Has turned into something much worse
They call it mania
I call it my life
As i travel this journey alone
With the people i love incapable of understanding
I feel as if i’m melting
Falling into the mush of my disorder
-Dolly
