~This isn't a poem but I feel as though I can put it here because it is my account and my book.~

3:00 am 

I wake up shaking and crying

After only an hour of sleep

It started to hurt to breath

I get up and stumble

I need pills

Already overdosed today

Whats another dozen

There wasn't any hidden in my room

Maybe there are some in the bathroom

The walls are closing in as I move

The darkness made me feel worse

I close the door while in the bathroom

I flick on the lights and lean on the counter 

I look at myself in the mirrror

This is not the same fun girl from years ago

Where did she go

I felt a sense of weakness flood me

I fell onto the counter more

I looked up again

She was there

14 year old me

The one who self harmed for attention 

She smiled to me

She had my favorite razor

I got rid of that one a year ago

She must have just found it for the first time

I still remember that day finding it

It felt so jagged in the right places

Sliding it across my skin would bring me joy

Nothing else did back then

She took the blade to her arm

And made me watch as she drew the blood

In one swipe

It went across her neck

I felt a pain in my stomach

I closed my eyes to open them to me 

In the clothes from the car wreck

Tears were streaming down my face

Flashbacks of that day

The blood

The pain

She smiled

Blood fell out of her mouth 

Onto the shirt that I will never forget

She waved to me again

I fell to the floor in pain

The hallucinations are back

I mixed too many meds

I was broken

I have no one else to blame

I see my problem

And I want help

It went too far this time
