Trust me. I'm no longer dying. I'm fine because, I'm no longer trying. I mean I am. Trying to be better, I mean. I'm improving even if, Sometimes I careen, Towards the edge and, I fill you with fright. Sometimes I'm dramatic, But really I'm alright. Except when I'm not. When I pick the scab open, Then I really just need, Something to hope in. Scratch that, I'm all talk. I'm just looking for attention, I'm sorry I'm so childish. I really shouldn't mention, Things like that, Moments that hurt. It was selfish of me, To put you on alert. I'm fine. Except when I'm not. When I overanalyze, And I drown in thought. I don't need you to coddle me. That's not your responsibility. But I wouldn't mind it. I'm a little lacking in stability. Just forget it actually. I don't mean to keep up this game, Of cat and mouse, it's silly. Frankly it fills me with shame. I don't want to be needy, I don't want to have needs. I don't want to be anymore, Don't indulge me, it only leads, To me telling you things. Things that seem much worse, Than I mean them to. Confessions that I rehearse. Thoughts that repeat in my head. Try to stop them, don't know how. But they're just thoughts. So I'll stop scaring you now. I swear I'm okay. Except when I'm not. When the world is crumbling, Every inch of me is pulled taut. When it never stops raining, I'm drenched to my soul. I shake violently and can't stop, Nothing can fill this endless hole. I've given up on hoping, And I can't describe how I feel, I know that I'm in agony but, I don't even know if the pain is real. . . . Hey I'm sorry. Sorry for all of it. In fact I never stop, Being sorry for sins I commit, For getting lost and falling short. Point is, what I'm trying to say, Is that I'm better now. But trying is the part giving it away. Because I can't seem to say, I'm doing just fine, Because I can never be sure, Because I walk a fine line. In the end I can't tell you, What's up and what's down. If a girl keeps crying suicide, She looses the trust of her town.

The girl who cried suicide
Trust me. I'm no longer dying. I'm fine because, I'm no longer trying. I mean I am. Trying to be better, I mean.
