Can you help me? 

I highly doubt you can.

No one can reach that deep;

fix something so broken.

 

It aches deep within,

sometimes hiding,

sometimes smashing into me with such power,

all I can do is whimper and clutch my sides.

 

Can you help me?

Would you want to if you could?

I wouldn't want to touch something so fractured

it could pull you down along with me.

 

My life was a sphere

Perfect from all angles

But there's nothing like 7 months

to bring it all crashing down.

 

Can you help me?

I'm stuck in this imploded ball.

I can't escape the pain

bubbling up like lava from within.

 

I wasn't ready.

But then, who is?

So I'll be as perfect as I can.

I need not cause more worry.

 

Can you help me?

Can alcohol or drugs?

They say it's numbing,

but is that really what I want?

 

It seems all I do is feel.

And burn.

And sink.

Slowly.

 

Can you help me?

Is ending it the answer?

Of course not, my conscience screams.

But maybe, a small voice claims.

 

How selfish, I think.

To put more peopl in pain.

Stupid, stupid girl.

How could you make anyone else suffer as you have?

 

Can you help me?

No, of course you cant.

I won't let you.

My walls are too well built, you'll never make it.

 

I have fortified them over 13 years.

They are flawless.

They sheild me from myself.

And Myself from others.

 

Can you help me?

These walls I built are suffocating.

They're stronger than ever before.

The foundations reaching deep, deep down.

 

I have always known they would leave me.

Always.

So here I am, alone.

As I have always planned.

 

Can you help me?

No, I don't want you to.

You're help entails pity.

I will have none of that here.

 

But the question remains,

Can you?
