I Smashed My Head Against the Wall Today

I smashed my head against a wall today. 
I hit it against the concrete until it bruised and now I bleed.
I’m just so damn confused and I can barely eat.
I smashed my head against a wall today. 

I cut my face with a blade today. 
Right above my eye. 
The blood falls down my face like tears. 
I love this feeling… this feeling right here. 
I know this feeling is not a lie.
I cut my face with a blade today. 

I planned my own funeral in my head today. 
I decided I don’t think I’ll have one.
Viewing my body wouldn’t be any fun. 
Please don’t think about me when the day has come. 
I go to sleep dreaming of a loaded gun. 

I want to die today.
Everyday. 

I feel everything yet nothing at all.
I feel so small. 
I smashed my head against the wall.
