After all I've lived,is it enough? I do want to live,I just don't wanna feel like this. I hope these little snippets of my mind bring you comfort.

Will I stay?

I wonder if I can handle all of this

After I've bitten my lips raw,

if I can keep up with it.

Before my flesh starts to bleed,

Before I turn into dust ,

Before my nails break my skin ,

And my heart begins to weep.

I wonder every day

What will make me stay?

If I'll stay in the hearts of the people I've met

Or in the wounds I've caused.

What will make me stay?

My good grades?

Or the cocoa I've made for my brother when he was sick?

What will make me linger?

The money I don't have?

Or maybe,the kisses I gave you?

I hope I stay in your mind

That my memories bleed into yours

And you don't forget about me,

Even if my body and soul are away from yours.
