There’s a fly inside of me
That I try to ignore
But it keeps bloody buzzing
Away in there
I try to drown it in booze
But it dodges it
I try to punch it
But I only hurt myself
I try to smoke it out
But it’s unfazed
The buzzing gets louder
When I try to sleep
I wake up to its noise
Barely with it
I don’t remember a time
It not being there
But it’s getting louder every day
To the point where I can’t hear
Other people
Or, myself
And
That’s dangerous
