Depression

My eyes shut tight as I sit alone in the corner. 
My throat is going numb from screaming.
I'm pulling my hair & hitting my head. 
This nightmare is killing me.
Your face is haunting my dreams. 
My wrists screaming for help.
This is my one & only tourniquet. 
It's my only way out. 
You know you hurt me & you don't even care.
