Fragile

Look, I'm not broken.

Don't treat me like I'm made of glass.

I know I may have made some mistakes,

but don't judge me by my past.

.

It's no mystery

that I'm a mess.

But there are still a few bad things,

I have yet to confess.

.

Yes, I have held the knife

to my skin before.

I've watched it tear right through my skin,

I've watched the blood pour.

.

I may have some unresolved issues,

that I'm too scared to face.

But I'm sorry mom if you're not proud;

Sorry if I'm a disgrace.

.

Maybe if I didn't hate myself so much

it would hurt less.

But if I don't even like myself;

who would I have to impress?

.

Don't try and say you get me,

or that I haven't hit the wall.

Because unless you spend a day in my life;

You won't know how much I wish that I could end it all.
