Maybe

maybe it’s that alcohol is easier 
than talking about my feelings, 
maybe it’s that doing thin white 
lines are simpler than explaining 
what’s going on inside my head, 
maybe it’s the emotion attached 
to the trauma, 
maybe it’s the blood stained skin 
and the tears in my eyes,
or maybe it’s that those hunger pains 
make me feel alive,
whatever it is, i can’t deal with it anymore
whatever it is, i’m done.
