Excerpt From a Poem I Will Never Write

I used to look at cutters when it got bad and tell myself I`ll never go there...

Now I look at my wrists and it`s just sad, I ask myself how I got here...

Hurting myself on the outside trying to kill the thing on the inside...

Feels like I`m drowning while everyone else is just breathing fine...

My thoughts have destroyed me more than any blade ever could...

How do I explain what`s wrong, when nothing is right? When my whole heart is a beating wound...
