she cuts her skin
like paper
because she knows
she'll never last
in a world
so big and bad

with the scarred paper
she shows
her battle  wounds
which express the pain
buried deep inside
because she
is so big and bad

so she tears at the paper
and she screams
and now her precious paper
isn't so precious
anymore

and now she's made of paper
and paper never lasts
in a world
so big and bad

never good enough,
never smart enough,
never funny enough,
never pretty enough,

you can try darling,
but you'll never be enough
so don't waste your time
fixing yourself up
to be someone
who you aren't

because darling,
you can try
but even as you're someone
who you aren't
it isn't enough
and you will never
be able to please
the hideous monsters
inside you

I feel as if
I'm slowly
falling,
drowning
in my thoughts

I can't breathe
and I gasp for air
but words of hatred
suffocate me
and I cant breathe

and I can see everyone around me
and they are breathing
and laughing
with happy faces

I try to grasp onto them
but they all
shake me off,
leaving me behind

and I know
I will never survive
as i fall
slowly,
drowning

I never meant
for you to see
this side of me
the side
that makes you
question everything

the side that
frightens you
beyond belief
because you had no idea
what I was capable of

the side that
makes you wonder
if I'm alright
and if I'm going to be okay
on my own

because you cant stand
to be near someone
who you don't know
anymore

maybe
I can disappear
and wake up
somewhere without
the pressure
to be perfect

maybe
if I try
I can end up somewhere
where I don't have
to starve,
or puke,
or cut

but maybe
I'm delusional
and no matter where
I am
I'm going to do all of those things
because
I don't deserve
to live

you know that moment
when you realize
no one cares

and everyone seems to
ignore you
and you're lonely
and you can't seem
to get anyone's attention

so you decide
they won't notice anything
and so you go
and you hurt yourself
and starve
because
they'll never notice
anyways

before I realized it
I started sinking
slowly
farther and farther
until
I could no longer breathe
