**White drunk**

Yellow colored words, innocent white smile, disguise the black and red behind.

How dare I do this to me?

I breathe heavily,

weighing the importance of everyday I spend living.

How dare I feel this way?

How dare I live as though I am drunk on sin?

I am everything I never wanted to be.

My white intent is blood drenched,

I slit myself on my purpose.

Now I ask for help,

the only way I know.

I look inside myself,

and reach for my hope.

Now there’s

…nothing.
