New Ways to Hurt

Finding new ways of harm

New ways for the pain to exit my body

Forming new bumps and bruises

Scars for all those memories long gone

But in the moment

They are very fresh and new

Not memories...a reality

A cold harsh reality

Where I get stepped over

A reality where I get ignored

Where I'm the wallflower

And I suffer through this reality

Not knowing yet to embrace it

Not knowing to accept myself

Before others can accept me

No knowledge of a home

A real home

Where pain and starving to sleep don't exist

In a terrible home where my lost soul

Can't find any form of rest

I look for ways out

An exit

But there is no illuminated sign for me to follow

There is no light to guide my way

I'm staggering through the dark and hoping

Just hoping that I'll find the right door

But it never comes

I keep searching

And scanning

But there's nothing

Only darkness and a new feeling

Of pure hopelessness

There is no escape from my mind

No relax for my tiring thoughts
