Hallways

My first month in high school and it's already miserable

I reside with my depression

I'll have someone to go down those hallways with me

It's the only thing that will tell me the words that no one else will say

But no worries

I also have anxiety

It knows my fears the best

I'll have someone to hold onto when things get scary

But I'll be fine

I have anorexia by my side to tell me I'm disgusting after every meal

The words make me want to throw up

But I'll be okay

But when everyone disappears

loneliness will creep up beside me

To hollow out my fragile heart

Just to borrow inside of me

...

I just hope I won't stay their hostage for life
