Can you imagine waking up every day
Tired
So you choose to sleep all of the time
To feel awake
But it doesn't work
Sleeping, cutting, crying, screaming
None of it works
So you sit in silence
And pray someone will take notice
But they don't
You're alone
Trying again and again to pick up the pieces of your broken heart
And tape them back together
You sink to the floor
Unable to breathe through the suffocating sobs that shake through your very core
And wonder how your heart broke in the first place
And it hits you
You don't know.
You've felt like this for as long as you can remember
But you know it can't be normal
This can't be normal
You can't be normal.
How can you fix yourself when you don't know how you broke in the first place
You can't.
You're doomed to be this way until you become numb to it
Until you can't feel anymore
It's inevitable.
"Stay strong"
How can you stay strong when everything is falling around you
Who are they
To have the audacity
To tell you to
"Stay strong"
When they can't imagine
What you go through every day?
And it scares you
That you can feel yourself
Slipping away
You can feel yourself
Forgetting how to feel
And you've never been more terrified
