I'll hold myself I'll be alright I'll stand strong I'll continue to fight I moved out at 12 Beaten at 13 Hushed by the voices who spoke for me Sitting in the back or any corner of a room Sitting where no one else will Frightened by every "boom" Developed things I didn't know about Was I born with it ? Am I just now noticing? Am I getting worse ? My best friend vanished I wore his blood as the questions spilled in like water after the dam is broken Staring off in a gaze because he was all i had at that point and I just lost it all The gun shot RINGING in my ears The blood staining my clothes and skin and even with the shower the mirror would show it all The "I love you " text message that was the last thing I had gotten from him or heard from him Did he really or was he just saying good bye I love you too But it didn't matter I didn't make it there in time And his blood splattered His body limp and his head just... His head His wrists were..... His face still had tears His life was taken His breath is gone His heart beat isn't beating Just a flat line ____ No matter how long I waiting this wasn't a movie and the rise wouldn't come Just a flat line So I will forever just draw curves Because I hate flat lines.
