Why Am I Not Better Yet
Why am I not better yet?
I’ve stopped eating,
Stopped thinking
The clock is ticking
Faster, faster
The days are blending together
I’ve cried too many tears
I’ve lost too many friends
I’ve ran out of sleep
My hands are shaking
My legs are bouncing
My hair hasn’t been washed
My teeth are yellow
Why am I not better?
I’m drowning in my own tears
I’m ill and no one is helping
This illness isn’t what it seems
It’s blood dripping down my arms
It’s tears being shed nightly
It’s the thought of being dead
It’s thoughts of hating myself
Is this all life has in store for me?
Why am I not better yet?
