I can’t stop Another day I starve myself I can’t stop Another day I abuse my body I can’t stop Another day I tear pieces of my flesh away with nails and teeth I can’t stop Another day I lose myself to my voices I can’t stop Another day I won’t let myself rest I can’t stop Another day I inhale toxic gases I can’t stop Another day I write a poem because no one would listen I can’t stop Another day I cry and break down, all alone I can’t stop Another day I can’t bear my own reflection I can’t stop Another day I realise that I’m all Daddy has I can’t stop Another day I think about his death I can’t stop Another day I claim to be fine I can’t stop Another day I sacrifice my being for someone who’s not me I can’t stop Another day I scold me for my imperfections I can’t stop Another day I give myself the things I deserve I can’t stop Another day I feel drawn to a knife’s sharp edge I can’t stop Another day I think of falling off a cliff I can’t stop Another day I think of the inevitable I can’t stop Another day I collapse due to physical and mental exhaustion I can’t stop Another day I overwork myself because of expectations I can’t stop Another day I wake up to find I’m still alive I can’t stop Another day I believe my delusions I can’t stop Another day my train of taught halts I can’t stop Another day I think of how disappointing I am I can’t stop Another day I feel out-of-place I can’t stop Another day I wish I wasn’t born I can’t stop Another day I try to put you out your misery I can’t stop Another day I scare myself I can’t stop Another day I use my fists and a wall to inflict damage to my skull I can’t stop Another day I enjoy peace in my concussion I can’t stop Another day I have an existential crisis I can’t stop Another day I wait for my healing I can’t stop Another day I wish my heart wasn’t beating I can’t stop Because it never stops

I Can't Stop Part 1
I can’t stop Another day I starve myself I can’t stop Another day I abuse my body I can’t stop Another day I tear pieces of my flesh away with nails and teeth I can’t stop Another day I lose myself to my voices I can’t stop Another day I won’t let myself rest I can’t stop Another day I inhale toxic gases I can’t stop Another day I write a poem because no one would listen I can’t stop Another day I cry and break down, all alone I can’t stop Another day I can’t bear my own reflection I can’t stop Another day I realise that I’m all Daddy has I can’t stop Another day I think about his death I can’t stop Another day I claim to be fine I can’t stop Another day I sacrifice my being for someone who’s not me I can’t stop Another day I scold me for my imperfections I can’t stop Another day I give myself the things I deserve I can’t stop Another day I feel drawn to a knife’s sharp edge I can’t stop Another day I think of falling off a cliff I can’t stop Another day I think of the inevitable I can’t stop Another day I collapse due to physical and mental exhaustion I can’t stop Another day I overwork myself because of expectations I can’t stop Another day I wake up to find I’m still alive I can’t stop Another day I believe my delusions I can’t stop Another day my train of taught halts I can’t stop Another day I think of how disappointing I am I can’t stop Another day I feel out-of-place I can’t stop Another day I wish I wasn’t born I can’t stop Another day I try to put you out your misery I can’t stop Another day I scare myself I can’t stop Another day I use my fists and a wall to inflict damage to my skull I can’t stop Another day I enjoy peace in my concussion I can’t stop Another day I have an existential crisis I can’t stop Another day I wait for my healing I can’t stop Another day I wish my heart wasn’t beating I can’t stop Because it never stops

I'm not very smart This is of myself I gave you my heart And hope that you help To... Keep me together Keep me from falling apart But I shouldn't have done that After I gave you my heart The pounding sound of heartbeats drown me in their noise My eardrums on the verge of bursting, but I have no choice Taken over by the soundwaves, lost in a cloud of rot My ears are bleeding, because of your voices, I can't stop.

I Can't Stop Part 2
You tell me I am wrong to think the way I do. God, I wish I could just stop thinking the way I do. But I can't. These things are engrained. The collarbones, The ribs, The hipbones. The things I crave. All I can think is "Thin". All I can tell myself is "Thin". But I am not thin. When I look in the mirror, I am disgusted. I pinch at my skin, And I beat it as punishment, For being Imperfect. And I know that Flaws are natural, And nothing about this Disorder Is natural. But that stopped making a difference A long, Long, Time ago. Natural, Healthy, Okay, Normal, Average, Not dying. None of that matters. Skinny stopped being Enough. Being bones Is all I ache for. And I am nowhere near Bones. I am nowhere near Skinny. I am nowhere near Thin. But it's all I want. And it's what I Destroy My body for. I'm broken, And nobody can fix me. I have been like this for years. God, I wish I didn't have to be Fat. If I weren't Fat, I wouldn't let my body ache, And Decay For my version of "Perfection." If I weren't Fat, I wouldn't **** myself Every day.

Unnatural.
You breathe me And I love you You touch my skin It prickles Electricity Lightening in my veins Warmth Heart like a bass drum Ears ringing With the sound of your love The sound of your touch Lips Like petals My neck smells like flowers from your kiss My hair curls around your fingers I can only imagine you I feel you in my mind My chest But I can't imagine you're real Are you real? Will we ever find each other? Will you ever breathe me? And will I breathe you? Will I hear your love sound Feel your petal lips Will I love you? Are you real?
