Failure
I try to count the tiles
One by one
Then I decided that it's no fun
I tried to count the grooves in my skin
Then I lost count and tried again
I tried to think of when I use to cut
I cried and cried until I stopped
I tried to count all my scars
But the internal ones go too far
I tried not to think of that night
And how I lost that F-ing fight
I tried not to think of the friends I lost
Because that monster wouldn't stop
I tried not to think of what he did
So I wouldn't cry again
I tried not to I swear
But it appears that again I failed
Sometimes I feel
That it would be better, if i just
Disappeared
