You thought you were bad.

You thought you were the worst.

But I have had days where I cannot wake

From the internal pain,

Where I breathe that fast

I cannot move,

Where I cannot speak without screaming;

And still I know

I am not the worst.

You believed you were broken

When you merely had cracks;

Pain dripping in slowly

But able to fix it.

Broken is hitting bottom

And sinking further still.

Don't tell me you've been broken.

I was falling when I left you

And I hit the ground. Hard.

Pieces of myself shattering across the floor.

Blood spilling.

Tears running.

You have no idea

What broken is.
