It

Late at night:
It comes for me,

Through the day:
I know It can see,

At dusk:
It keeps me from sleep,

In the morn:
It makes me not eat,

In my mind:
It likes what it finds -
a broken girl,
with wilted curls,
fake smiles,
and lies,
and all the while,
nobody's noticed,
nobody's seen,
the shadow of the girl that I used to be,
now inhabited by the soulless It,
It that does make me what to hit.

I hit myself again and again,
and It's never satisfied It needs more friends,
so I scratch myself more and more,
all It seems to do is feel bored,
so I slit my wrists 'til the blood runs dry,
hoping this time is the time I'll fly.

The time when I fly far away from here,
to the place where It's no longer whispering in my ear.
