Recluse by Sophie Dobby

Recluse
Lying amongst the dankness
surrounded by greenery and ashy smoke
cigarettes breathe out life
sweet yet poisonous
to the swaying vines gasping,
their green lungs crying out for substance.
The mirror above weeps
as it watches my descent
bright tears shatter the air
as it swallows my body
and envelopes my form.
Drowning myself in my own madness
with glassy pupils I see now
and am able to breathe freely again.
