Lately I've felt stupid

I thought I could trust him

And I couldn't

He was barely anything close to a friend

I went to meet him last night

He kissed me the night before

Then he said we couldn't be friends anymore

I ran with tears streaming off my face

Luckily they blended with the rain

The little drops that fell

On my nose

Around my eyes

I didn't see a reason

I went home after drying my tears

I took out a knife

And I watched as blood slowly streamed

Down my arm

Falling on my floor

And onto my shoe

It quickly stopped

So I put a bandage on it

I broke my streak

I promised myself

My family

My teachers

...him

That I wouldn't do it again

And I broke that

That promise I made

Is broken

Like the skin that met a knife

After I told everyone

No

Self

Harm

I lied

Because of one person

And no one could stop me

I didn't give anyone a chance

When if I did

My skin wouldn't be broken

And I wouldn't be in tears

People

They hurt

Cause they have words

And words hurt

A lot

They can even end a life

And when someone finds their body

It more than likely is too late

But luckily

Some of us

With depression

Have people to care for

And encourage

Even when

They have no courage themselves

They still do

Cause they still have a heart

But mine

Feels unsteady

Like it wants to stop

But knows it can't

Lately I've been betrayed
