The Realization.

And every time it occurred

My heart chipped

And those pieces traveled throughout me

They would cause damage

And that's why I was crying

Not because it hurt me mentally

But because those pieces of my heart

The sharp pieces

Jagged edges

Would nick veins

There was no other explanation for my emotions

Soon later I realized

Both

It does both

These situations hurt me

Mentally

Physically

They drown me

I can't take one breath of air

Its not allowed

I couldn't speak of it

It was not allowed

It had been so long since I'd hurt in silence

I never remembered this to be how it felt.
