Every heartbeat

My heart is beating
I can feel it
Sometimes I wish it would just stop
It pounds
And it pounds
It pumps the blood through my veins
Why won't it just stop?
With every pound,
It's like a deafening echo
Reminding me
Of the stress
The pain
And my lack of happiness
Those reminders pump through my veins
With every heartbeat
My mind buzzes with the same reminders
And with every reminder
I can feel the tears
Threatening to spill over
But I don't let them
I claim to be strong
But I am weak
My tears may not spill over
But my blood does
With every heartbeat
With every reminder of pain
Because I am secretly weak
And my scars prove it
I let the pain leak out of me with every heartbeat
Because I am weak
