"Does it ever go away?"
The empty feeling in my chest
The sleepless nights where all I can do is muffle my apologies for not being enough
The scars on my upper arms that won't release me from my past
This deep attraction in me to walk to the ledge and peer down
wondering how my broken body would look
Does the mind numbing ever leave
because I'm stuck in a place between life or death
and there is no liberty here for me
Will I ever feel normal enough to go outside feeling confident for even just minutes that I'm not a horrible person
I just want to feel the sun on my skin and a smile so big that my face feels like breaking.
Most days I feel nothing,
I just want to feel something again.
"Only time will tell"
