I Wish I Was Stronger

I sombrely sit in this cold, dingy, dark cellar, A thousand thoughts race around my mind, Some sick, some insane...most repulsive. But they are all mine. My hooded jacket clings around me hiding the cuts and slits in my skin and flesh, My mascara and heavy eye liner runs down my face and stains my cheeks. Chin on knees, bleeding arms wrapped around myself, eyes sunken and leaking. Searching through the thoughts looking for something that explains my situation. Ear phones blaring, drowning out the world, Each mirror smashed, the glass now scattered on the floor, A floor now soaked from stagnant water and blood. Now I cannot see the failure in the mirror staring back at me when I glance at it. I want to fade into this darkness, Merge with the walls and ground, Become inanimate. I wish I was stronger

Reads like a person who is strong but has been abused, put down, and hurt..Now that person lashes out at herself..You are an awesome spirit being of magnificent worth as person..You are truly loved of God..You are one of a kind, unique, there has never been one like you and there never will be another like you..You are special..Your being special is expressed in your work..Next time write your pain, anger, and entrapment before the acting out..Sara
