pills in a bottle

when i was 8
i made myself wear the title “broken”
i fully believed that i was a mistake, and that i didn’t deserve to live 
i’ve lost count of how many times
i’ve tried to take my life when i was a kid
but it was a lot
at 13, i tried to commit 4 times
the pills that i took stopped the pain for a little bit
but now, i still get nauseous when i hear pills in a bottle.
