The small broken closed book
by @bridget-marie-clark
Today I feel broken.
I'm carving up pieces of myself
offering them to everyone in an attempt
to make myself forget and help them
Today I'm getting smaller.
As I offer more pieces and he,
Who usually puts them back,
Takes them without question
Today I am sad without reason
Today I want him to know that
Today I cannot seem to show it
Never am I able to say it
Today I am a closed book
I expect him to read me
I cannot seem to yield my pages
I cannot open myself
Today I am a closed book
Today I am sad without reason
Today I am getting smaller
Today I feel broken
Today... depression.
