Please do not
Ask me why I'm sad.
I cannot tell you
Why the emptiness
Creeps into my bones
When I am utterly alone.
Please do not
Ask me why I starve.
When my stomach
Looks like mountains
Filling me with hatred.
Please do not
Question my self hatred.
When I am the one
That has to live with myself
And all my mistakes.
Please do not
Ask me about my scars.
They show the wars
That I have fought
With my mind.
Please do not
Ask me why I want to die.
Living with all this pain
Is a terribly long battle
That I do not wish to win.
