I stopped naming days a while ago— they blur like raindrops on a cracked lens. Everything feels like an echo of a moment that never begins.
I’m not living — I’m leftover. A half-thought someone left behind. Just a whisper under locked doors, a glitch they pretend not to find.
My mirror forgets my face now. It fogs up, refuses to see. I trace a smile in the steam, then wipe it off carefully.
My body’s a punishment I wake up in, every curve a curse, every breath a dare. They say “You’ll grow into yourself,” but I’m scared of what’s even there.
My bedroom light flickers like it pities me. I don’t turn it off—it feels like a friend. Sometimes I stare at the ceiling and wonder when all this will end.
School is a stage I perform at. My backpack holds more secrets than books. Teachers read me like I’m blank paper, like I’m nothing more than looks.
I speak less every week. Even the silence feels bored of me. I try to write myself into poems, but the paper just stares blankly.
I write suicide notes in my head like lullabies when I can’t sleep. I imagine a world without me and it doesn’t even weep.
No one knocks on my door anymore. They say I’m “just going through a phase.” But I’m not going anywhere— just sinking in quieter ways.
I think the stars forgot my name. I don’t even wish on them now. What’s the point in asking for light when you’ve never been shown how?
I keep my razor in a pencil case— It makes more sense that way. At least it writes something real when my words won’t stay.
Tell me—what’s worse: To scream and be silenced, or to whisper your last goodbye and still be unseen in the silence?
I don’t want a grave or flowers. Just maybe a song without my name. Let me go like a breath you didn’t mean— quick, quiet, forgotten. No blame.
