"mind over matter"
is what they say.
worthless encouragements
and not so helpful theories.

why don't they try it
with demons invading your neurons
and tapping with brain cells non-stop?

"i understand what you're going through"
is what they say.

so how come you have flawless skin,
and not have tired, puffy eyes
from crying your lungs out
and staying in the bathroom too long?

"it gets better"
is what they say.

it does not get better.
it does not turn great.
it turns worse and worst
until you are but a walking corpse
whose death and hopes turn bitter.
