A hole in the sky
Submerged,
drowning in salted tears.
I stab myself,
Inflicted self wounds,
Piercing of the blade
Into the flesh.
I‘m tormented
With my own fate.
I smell my own
grief,
I taste my own
Bitter words.
I tear myself,
Ripped open for the
World to see.
I try to disguise the pain,
Twisting a tourniquet around
My frail heart.
Bleeding profusely,
The stains,
Smear a lifetime of hurt.
I don’t know why,
I want to die.
I wake up today,
Just to witness the reflected
Scars left behind.
I hide behind
Believing lies,
That I’m fine.
Reaching out, grasping
save me from this abyss
Look beyond these eyes
Soulful cries that cannot express.
I bleed,
and I don’t even know
The reason Why.

I Bleed

Plummeting through
A hole in the sky
Submerged,
drowning in salted tears.
I stab myself,
Inflicted self wounds,
Piercing of the blade
Into the flesh.
I‘m tormented
With my own fate.
I smell my own
grief,
I taste my own
Bitter words.
I tear myself,
Ripped open for the
World to see.
I try to disguise the pain,
Twisting a tourniquet around
My frail heart.
Bleeding profusely,
The stains,
Smear a lifetime of hurt.
I don’t know why,
I want to die.
I wake up today,
Just to witness the reflected
Scars left behind.
I hide behind
Believing lies,
That I’m fine.
Reaching out, grasping
save me from this abyss
Look beyond these eyes
Soulful cries that cannot express.
I bleed,
and I don’t even know
The reason Why.

Bin, honey... This is such a gripping and
gut-wrenching write and I can relate, all
too well, unfortunately. It's a scary, dark
and deceiving place to exist in. I've lived
there. I almost died there. This is a
brave and fear-filled write and I applaud
you for getting it down on paper, as it were.

Be well,
~dawn
