"You put the music in my heart." Asking Alexandria


Who am I?
Why am I here?
Where did the girl go that I once knew?
My thoughts race as I look at this foreign figure.

I look at the scars on my arms and legs.
They remind me how pathetic I`ve become.

My face emphasizes the words they said about me.
My weight shows how much I wanted to fit in.
To be a skinny as them. To be as pretty as them.

I turn around and find the tub of clear blue water waiting for me.
The tears run down my face as I go under.

My lungs burn as they fight for air, but I neglect to feel it.
My body becomes cold.
Everything becomes dark.

Arms?
Is that what this warmth is?
Am I floating?
Or are the arms carrying me?

My eyes open.
All I can see is brightness.
Where am I?
Am I dead?

Just when I thought I got away from all my demons.
The cycle repeats and I`m drowning in my pain once again.


The author's comments:
For all those people that think they need to end their life or harm themselves because you're in pain. Sometimes you aren't meant to leave this world. You were meant to be stronger than the people hurting you. Face your demons. Don't try to hide from them.
