I broke too much of myself thinking someone could fix me. I should have not turned myself to pieces in the first place. Because no one would ever keep a broken mirror in their pockets.

Broken Mirror
It’s just easier to say yeah I’m okay, and then lay my head down on the couch at the end of the day. What I’m feeling is selfish, it’s mostly about me. Just wishing you would stick around and never ever leave. So I’ve been quiet all day because I know I should be happy for you. I’ve been quiet all day because I already miss you.

Happy for you
Sometimes I just run out I feel too much And I’m left numb No more Happiness Sadness Fear Anger Love Hatred Motivation It just runs out I’m left a shell of a person I lose sight of my life And my will to live I push myself away from others Until some shred of feeling returns And I go back out To the world To be battered and attacked once more

Exhaust
Uncomfortable within this skin. My joints complain and muscles scream. But people say, *"It's normal. It's more common than you think."* My mind in shambles. Ideas incoherent and thought processes sluggish at best. But people say, *"It's normal. It's more common than you think."* My emotions are in total disarray. I'm not happy yet I'm not anything at all. But people say, *"It's normal. It's more common than you think."* My insides twisting, splitting. Every grain and fibre set on fire. But people say, *"It's normal. It's more common than you think."* If this is normal, I'm petrified with the prospect of what isn't.

Normal
Why am I not like her? She has the most beautiful skin, Remarkable appearance with red plump lips, Everyone can’t help but wonder as she passes by How can someone be so pretty? One Day I came across the thought Why am I not pretty like her?? I go back and stare at the mirror like never before… Her body shape like an hourglass made my faint curves shy Her spotless skin mocked mine with acnes and freckles Her brown eyes with long lashes while I had bags below my eyes Her plump lips versus mine that looks dreadful Why can’t I be like her? “Maybe because I’m nothing infront of her” I again take my attention back to myself in the mirror Just picturing her remarkable feature in my head makes me look ugly makes me look like a trash, garbage and useless… Why am I not like her? I question myself with tears that can’t help but fall down my eyes

Why am I not like her?
I'm tired. Tired of everything. I just want to sleep, And never wake up again. No, I'm not lazy, I'm not running away from life. I'm just tired of the world and myself, And too tired to change anything.

Tired
Breathe in, breathe out, then die. That’s what I’ve done for the past 4,271,344 seconds, and I’m exhausted. I don’t want to breathe anymore. I don’t want to do anything anymore. I’m not even scared of dying, I am so so scared of living though. I wrote them a letter about who I am. Who I am is not what they want. Maybe it’s my fault for lying in the letter, I told them I was happy while holding back tears. I wonder when my lies will stop being enough for people to stop checking on me. Give them a smile, tell them “I’m okay”, and they’ll leave you to pick yourself apart. I’m so tired. And my ribs feel so heavy. But don’t worry. I’m okay. I’ll just breathe in, Breathe out. And die.

Not What They Wanted
If it makes you feel better I'll say that I'm OK It's a lie but I'll say it anyway

Feel better
When I was five, my mother told me I was loved. Years later, she asked me to leave because I was the reminder of the gruesome past that haunted her. When I was ten, my father told me he believed in me. Years later, he refused to accompany me because I was an embarrassment to him in front of the society. When I was fifteen, my friends told me I was funny. Years later, they all laughed at me because I was the gullible teenager who fell for their flawless façade. When I was twenty, this guy said I was beautiful. Years later, he trashed me, tormented me because I was ignorant enough to overlook my inevitable flaws. So, sorry for not believing in you, for questioning your intentions, inclusively, in-depth when you told me you loved me because I didn’t want to wind up years later, learning it the hard way that people often don’t mean what they say.
