Disturbingly beautiful

I’m crying and I’m crawling. The bug is constantly snickering. Haunting me with horror stories night and day. Never am I alone, the bug is always on my shoulder. During the nights when I’m asleep the bug crawls into my ear. He eats away my brain and replaces it with eggs. He then crawls back out again, waiting for me to wake up and feed his eggs. He thinks I don’t know, but I noticed it long ago. I opened up my head one night and saw the horrors. Soft, white eggs covered in my blood with black legs sticking out, searching for my nerves to cling onto. Every day I feel them growing more and more. I feel the pressure of them on my skull. I feel every grip they take, every step and every bite. Every movement sends jolts of pain throughout my body and I vomit from the pain. I can no longer sleep because whenever I try to lie down the bugs bite me and give me indescribable pain.
I can’t stand looking in the mirror anymore. Any time I do, my forehead is full of boulders moving here and there. I get sick just thinking about it.
Soon I am nothing more than them. Soon my brain is no more. Soon I am no more here, I am merely the host of a parasite now.
I can no longer walk, therefore I crawl. The bugs are no longer eggs now, they’re moving through my whole body. They send me shivers down my spine as they eat the top of my lungs and my collarbones. Soon they’ll reach my heart, and then I’ll be no more. I can’t stop them. If I tried, the bug on my shoulder would kill me instantly. His bite is dangerous and I would soon bleed to death. The bugs inside my body would flow out with the stream of blood to greet the new day.
I’m scared to die, but there’s nothing I can do. I’ve told everyone I love that I love them and that there’s nothing they can do.
The bugs are so powerful. Today I felt one of their legs step on my heart, they’re getting close. I’d just like to say goodbye.

Hej! Jag är 17 år. Jag vill vara författare och poet när jag blir stor! Min favorit-poet och författare är Karin Boye!! Det ser man nog i mina dikter och övriga texter, jag får mycket inspiration från henne.
