Why not

One cut for being hopeless

Two for wanting to die

Five for feeling like nothing

Ten for not being able to try

Twenty for losing my sanity

Fifty for eating today

Eighty for not staying strong

A hundred to make the pain go away

Two hundred for being dishonest

Five hundred for losing their trust

Eight hundred for losing myself

A thousand for insisting ‘I must’

Two thousand for not being happy

Five thousand for being so weak

Eight thousand for lying so often

Ten thousand for not being able to speak

Fifty thousand for not being myself

A hundred thousand, it’s not a lot

Five hundred thousand, I’m sick and tired….Fuck it

A million…..sure, why not?
