I cut my hair
stopped talking to my friends
stopped watching that show
stopped going out
I acted how you liked
And I was silent about the things you didn’t
I grew apart from someone I knew for 13 years
I stopped eating
Stopped sleeping
I obsessed with my self of how “it’s so funny” that
I waited for your call even when I hung up
I got quite
I didn’t talk for months
I was silent that birthday.
Turning into a stranger who lived in my skin
Always listening
I spent all my silence reading a dozen
books about psychology
“There must be something wrong with me”
From that point on I couldn’t hang onto people any longer
I could talk to people but it seemed never “friends”
Bearly ‘friendly’
I couldn’t eat once again
I couldn’t feel pain
It felt like I couldn’t do anything
I shattered my self
Just to feel ‘anything.’.
