1.
I did not ask for this
A body?
Only to be harmed. Hurt.
Pushed to its limit.
Neglected.
I did not want a mind.
To ruminate. To worry.
Overthink until im sick
I do not want this life
I want peace and rest
2.
If I stopped breathing
Who would be the first to know?
Would they cry?
Or stand in fear?
If I stopped breathing
How would I know?
Could I feel?
If I stopped breathing
My mom would break
My dad would cry
and I would never know
3.
Who wins at life?
Where is the goal? what are the rules?
How long do we have?
How do we score?
Please let me score.
I need a win.
4.
I want them to see.
I want them to know I made it
I want my peers to envy
I want my parents to brag.
but how do I get there?
I can't get out of bed.
I can't eat.
I can't call home
How can I show I made it
When I can't take the first step?
