I'm so broken and nobody notices
I'm not okay
I'm not happy
I'm not stable
This is a bad poem
This is a sad poem
This is a broken, empty poem
It doesn't even deserve the title poem
Because poetry is beautiful
But this one isn't
it's ugly
it's broken
it's pointless
just like me.
I'm crying and I'm screaming
And I'm tired and I just
Want everything to
stop spinning.
I mean, I could drown it away
With vodka
With pills
With sliver sheets of metal
or
Maybe even just run away
But I can't
Because I'm scared
I'm terrified
I'm sad
I'm empty
I'm broke
I'm a tragedy
I'm pointless
I'm me.
