Let's talk about skin...
Is it?.. a part of my body?
Or more than that?

All a matter of
Interpretation.

Some people think of skin
as
Fragile and easily scarred
Like mine.

Wrapping paper
that decorates
your heart and
Soul.

There are some
with skin
So Tough:
It is impossible to leave marks

I yearn for such skin
where the impressions of cruelty
are unable
to stick
to stay
to ravage
How much more damage
can my skin sustain?
Before it yields
and I spill out.
All over the
Cold
Hard
Floor.

Yesterday I tried,
Today I'm trying,
Tomorrow I will try again.

How many times do I have to fail before I give up entirely?

I want it to stop,
but it's not that easy.
People say it is,
but they know
Nothing

It's like you're drowning,
but
breathing
air fills your lungs
but each breath is a chore.

Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale
Exhale
Stop.

Just stop.

I think I've made myself very clear.

But no one came to stop me.

I am tired
of trying.

Trying hurts.
Because I am not good enough.
And I never will be.

That's the end of it.
There's nothing more to say.

Anxiety
such a fickle thing
most people
have

NO

idea
I'm even wondering

right now

What do they all THINK?

Even        this     seems hard
Expressing          yourself is HARD
life is              WORSE
life is a  CHORE

To ME
this looks      like        Absolute ****

I'm SORRY
I'm not what you expected...

Hello.
Goodbye.
They see nothing.
I feel nothing.

How are you?
I am fine.
When did that ever matter?
