The blood runs
It flows from my body
I have dulled two razors
In less than 2 days
Sore hurting
Not dulling the pain inside
NitaAnn Nov 2014
Tired, hurting, wanting to SI... just trying to get through the 'moment' and then the next one, and the next one....and on and on and on...and I find myself flat on my stomach, lying on the bathroom floor, lost and alone...

On the bathroom floor, with a razor in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, feeling no pain while watching blood drip down one's wrist...all while watching the scene take place while outside one's body.
Tired, hurting...Blood flowing...Emotional mess

My wrists hurt, my hands are numb
I look down reaching for my suffering
I examine, looking at each carefully
Feeling it's pain with my other hand
I search for the ropes that tie them
Nothing exists
The skin tingles and pulsates beneath my fingertips
How can this feel so real?

Screaming and choking
I search my neck
Pulling  and tugging at it
I need to release his hands that are killing me
I search
Nothing exists
His grip so tight around me..
How can this feel so real?

I lay curled up on the floor, gasping for air
Crying uncontrollably, unable to move
I am being torn in two
Its an invisible ****.
I am alone, I am safe
Yet...I feel so small and defenseless
His weight crushes me, I cannot breathe
He isn't here
He doesn't exist anymore
My body is shattered into a million pieces
How can this feel so real?

I lay motionless
The world spins around me.
I am dead now
There is no pain where the dead reside.
There they have butterflies, rainbows and laughter.
I want to join them. I run to the dead ones.
They welcome me with open arms
I let go
This doesn't exist
My body is not ruined and broken anymore

I wake up

i don't feel like myself a lot lately
waking up confused, that's if I even sleep at all
having to remember where i am at and whats going on around me.
i seem to still function through the day ok
but i feel so dissociated from everything at the same time.
i don't know how to make sense of it all either.

i hate the fact i can't seem to explain whats going on inside me.
so many different things all at once
and i feel like i cant stop any of it.
yet still having to put on the smile
the everything is ok face
for the sake of others not asking questions
or telling me to snap out of it....

i feel like no words can describe what goes on inside me
the emptiness...the struggle to make it through the day.
i shouldn't have to fight so hard to just get through a normal day
(then again i don't believe "normal" exists)


i'm just tired...so very tired...

All I see is red
So angry
So hurt
Sitting here
Cutting
Letting the blood flow
Releases some of my hurt.

****** mess
What happens
When I get carried away
The blade has a mind of its own
One cut turns into twenty.

I need to
Make that final cut
The one that brings sweet relief
Ends the anger and hurt.

****** abuse in itself is not the worst crime. No. The aftermath is. The invisible **** that happens over and over again every time you close your eyes.  That shiver that runs down your spine whenever someone places a hand on your shoulder or jumps out and shouts "boo" at you. They way you hold your keys between your knuckles every time you have to walk alone at night. The way your heart races when you are home alone and hear a noise in the house. No the actually act alone isn't the worst. The worst is feeling unsafe in every aspect of everything you will ever do. The worst is smelling his cologne everywhere you go. Sensing his presence when you know you are alone. The worst is breathing everyday. Just breathing when all you want to do is stop.

The worse is how your body decays in every spot that he touched even years after. I am rotting from the inside out. He injected dirt into my veins like a drug.

The worst is scrubbing until your skin is raw, until the water runs cold, yet still being consumed in filth. The worst is how one act, done by one person, over a length of time can so alter everything about you. Like my DNA has been rewritten. The worst thing is how it replays in your mind like a broken record that continues to skip.

Or how small it makes you feel, so powerless.  Such a greatness of nothing.and how that nothing consumes you. Then you wonder how being nothing can be so vast.  How feeling like nothing can become something that lasts forever.

The worst is trying to believe that your body is anything more then a wasteland when you know that that's all it ever is, and was, and ever will be. Daring to think that maybe you are beautiful and  deserving of more and having the mirror tell you that that is a lie.

No ****** abuse in itself is not the worst crime. The worst is how that one act wipes away everything that you are like an eraser on a chalk board and now all you are is the things that have happened. Now I am pain. I am hurt. I am the cuts on my skin.

The worst is feeling like you are lying every time you say that you are more then what he made you.

Every night is a nightmare with demons and monsters
Invading every inch of my body
But every 'day' is a gift.

He will stay here, and he will taunt me and he will hurt me.  
And it is as scary and as painful now as it was then...
But I will deal with it.

Even if it means remaining frozen in this chair until the sun comes up.
I will not "reach" out - or "ask" anyone for anything!!!
Ever!

I hope you can understand that these are my limits and boundaries.

I will not ask for "love" or "support" ~ in the face of expected abandonment...I will make the choice to 'deal with it" now - alone!
I will just sit here - frozen in this hell - until the sun comes up.

But tomorrow morning, when the sun does break in the East
I will once again put on the mask and walk on sunshine.
And I will hide behind that mask because it's safe.  
Because I understand that no one will ever accept the Nita behind the mask.  

That's okay - it's all ok....Every day is a gift....

Every night is a total nightmare complete with demons and monsters invading every orifice of me...

But every day - every day is a gift.

I was designed more for public than for private, you know.

I am living the American Dream....

Every single day is a gift.
