I am sad.

I am the family failure.

I am covered in scars & drowning in self hate.

I am dependent on cheap razors from cvs to make me feel alive.

I am dependent on the vodka from my grandparents fridge to stop drowning.

I am shattered.

I can't breathe.

I can't think.

I want to feel numb.

I want to be dead.

I hide the truth from everyone- even my therapist.

I am shattered.

I want to unzip my veins until they're empty.

I want to swallow those pills until my broken heart stops beating.

I want to hang from that rope until my lungs stop screaming and are calm again.

I am shattered.

I want to die.

I want to slice all of my skin open.

I want to drink all the vodka I can.

I want to swallow every last pill I can find.

I want to swing from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise, so at least I'll die looking at something beautiful.

I am shattered.

I am selfish.

I am screaming, and I want to stop.

I am lost, with nothing but a broken compass and a bottle of Jack.

I am lonely, the cigarette burning between my fingers is my only friend.

I am broken, only spilling my secrets to the stars as they watch me spill my blood.

I am shattered.
