Dripping Vitriol
I am toxic. I am poisonous. I am dripping vitriol. Every little thing that goes wrong is a vindication of my hatred. Every stabbing of pain makes me caustic and acerbic to people trying to help me. My loss of independence turns me to truculence and irritability. I cannot take the positives in anything. I constantly fear about the future. I want to get out of my head. But my head is a mirror-maze with fire exits leading towards ever deeper corners of anger and hopelessness. I do the only thing that I know how to do now, and blast myself with pills. The metaphor collapses in on itself and I hope for a better tomorrow, not realising that this is in my control alone.
Get me out of this head.
