I feel the broken shards wrapped around my heart, and the fire scorching my soul as I catch the glimpse of the ugly marks a broken ruler might leave like paper cuts on fingers. I feel my minds dwindling, spiralling, falling into a bottomless pit, without ever moving an inch as I stay put and live through every iteration of how my life can definitely fail. I feel my tears run down dry, like rain on a cloudless day: pointless; even as I leave the bruises and cuts to my own hide in the name of self-sabotage, the concept of pain, no matter how much it threatens my tears, can never threaten my kindness and facade to accept it with arms wide open. I am cut, bruised, sick, tired, and everything in between, but I will never, for the life of me, be killed by my own hands, not after I found a reason to live. Friends, Ambitions, Love; A combination of the three, a mirror as well; someone I can always trust, dream, and love. Someone who held me so close and so tight, I never realized how much of myself had been chipped off already until she picked up my fragments, and I held hers. Someone, who after all these years, of mental torture from those of my blood, physical torture from mine alone to which I feigned resiliency to, I have found the reason to try and stop. I've finally found her: the one that I love; someone to whom I will proudly say "Good morning" to, as I stand proud that I still live to fight another day, to fight for this reason. Let my family **** me; let the world run me over tenfold; let my non-existent demons punch me out cold, but if opened my eyes and realized that I'm still in pain, then I shall refuse to die. Not yet, not for her. Not now, not ever.

I refuse to die
I feel the broken shards wrapped around my heart, and the fire scorching my soul as I catch the glimpse of the ugly marks a broken ruler might leave like paper cuts on fingers.
