Room 

Claustrophobic. 

That’s the best way to describe it

A hard tense feeling of the walls 

Collapsing like a house of cards onto you. 

Air thick like oil in your lungs,

Drowning any screams you make. 

No one can hear you. 

No one wants to hear you. 

As you lay there on a bed that may as well be a piece of driftwood 

You open that small portal to a world of ecstasy. 

Instant gratification and satisfaction. 

It’s almost orgasmic, isn’t it?

But wait… 

Why aren’t your friends talking to you?

You messaged them a while ago now...

Well maybe they just got busy. 

Yes. That’s it. They’re just busy. 

They wouldn’t forget about me, that’s silly

They wouldn’t. 

Right?

It’s been a couple hours now…

Still no answer from anyone. 

You’ve tried calling them but the phone drones on and on, it echoes in your mind. 

They hate you. 

They never loved you, no one did

You always talked, on and on 

They just wanted to be left alone 

And you couldn’t take a hint

YOU COULDN’T GROW UP

But... 

maybe if I wait a little longer. 

They’ll come back

They’ll come back and it’ll be fun again

Just like the old days. 

Everyone will be there. 

Everyone has to be there. 

They won’t come. You know that deep down in that sad excuse of a soul you have. 

You’re really pathetic aren’t you.

You really think they would drop everything for you?

Come and please you like Pavlov’s dogs??

You’re worthless 

Nothing more than dirt, no. 

You’re less than dirt.

Even ants don’t bother themselves with you. 

I want you out. 

Get out of my head. 

Stop talking so loud

Stop hurting me

Please get out of my head

Just leave and never come back. 

No. 

I’ve been here all along. 

Without me what would you do all day?

I at least make you feel something. 

If I wasn’t around you’d be nothing more than a dead tree log. 

Waiting for something to happen like a trained dog. 

So would you like a treat dog?

Do some tricks?

Well?

Would you?

You go to bed that night hoping that this tormented nightmare ends. 

That was more than 444 days ago. 

You wake up again. 

Day 445

Time to check your phone.
