You ask if i'm okay

I'm just tired i say

Yes im tired

Tired of feeling useless

Tired of crying myself to sleep

Tired of smiling when I don't want to


You ask how i'm doing

I'm good I tell you

Yes i'm good i guess

Good at lying

Good at hiding the scars that line my hips

Good at laughing when i'm supposed to


You ask what i did this week

Nothing much i reply

Well nothing i'm going to tell you

Not that i emptied another bottle

Not that i haven't eaten in two days

Not that i'm spending my nights elsewhere


I try to tell you

I send you quotes about cutting

I send you music about faking happiness

But you don't' understand

You can't


"Why didn't you tell me" You scream

But i can't hear you

Scream all you want

Beat the walls till your hands are bloody

I won't know

I was falling and you didn't save me

Now i'm gone
