I'm a shard of glass
Splintered in to everyone's lives
Once I implode
Once depression swallows me whole
My mind goes blank
I feel nothing but emptiness
And acts of self harm
swarm inside my heart
When will I feel like I'm enough
When will it all cease to exist
When can I feel unshadowed
by this darkness
Words are what truly saved me
Despite all the harmful acts
I'd put upon myself
Written words became my voice
I couldn't vocalize
Words broke me down
And then recreated me
I will continue
to live and breathe words
