Another sleepless night begins as the blood slips past the torn flesh on my wrist

Another deep breath as I steady my hand and aim the blade carefully across the skin

Another stunningly blue vein torn for the sake of the plead for happiness

Another month full of long sleeves and transparent excuses that are growing old

Another faked smile and forced laugh that causes more pain than the blades

Another question I wish wasn't asked because I can't find the answers

Another night spent wide awake alone in my room with every mistake i've ever made playing on repeat

Another moment of seemingly collapsed lungs and sheer terror swallowing like a tidal wave

Another splinter in an already shattered heart inside a broken girl

Another bottle of pills that should've been locked up properly

Another note written but this time not crumpled and tossed

Another 'sad' kid written off as a lost cause

Another goodbye that will be forgotten come tomorrow
