Is It
I don't know
how much longer
I can survive
surrounded by those
that hurt me
and lie.
Is it considered suicide
if you just give up and die?
I have never been so alone
I thought the cracks in me
would begin to heal.
But they are reopened daily
pain is all I can feel.
Is it considered a homicide
if they hurt you so badly
that you wither away and die?
I can't see myself
growing old.
I can't imagine
living so long
in so much pain.
I can't ask for help,
I have no one to turn too.
I no longer trust
those I thought
Would never hurt me.
Is it considered living
existing while you are dead inside?
