Poetry and Quotes

Do You Understand

Hug me as if I was dying,
'Cause baby I am.
I'm so far from life,
Do you understand?

There's a pounding in my head
And a voice in the walls.
Am I even breathing?
'Cause I feel so gone.

A boy down the street
Has me crying on the floor.
His words whispered,
My head is again at war.

My mind is filled with words
That I will never say.
A pain on my wrist.
A slash against my legs.

Is this his wish?
To beat me up inside,
Then tell me I'm fine.
He has me wrapped around his finger,

And I'm so very far from fine.
