Wounded, Good Charlotte

Trigger warning for self-harm references
It had been a couple of weeks not that Corey was feeling like everything was slipping out his grip. At first, it had been easy to ignore it. It was easier to get drunk or turn on some really loud music to try to drown it out. At first, he had his art but his work was so far from his usual style it was almost like a stranger was holding the brush. There was a darkness in all of them and once he was done with them, he had found himself just looking at the canvas and having no idea what it all really was or how it ended up coming out of him.

( Then that stopped too... )
