Favorite Quote:
"No man chooses evil because it is evil. He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks." ~Mary Wollstonecraft


I sit in my room
All by myself
Knowing I’m wrong
And that I need help
But I won’t admit
That I cut my wrists
And skip meals
At least twice a day
I won’t admit
That I cry myself to sleep
I’ll smile so big
Yet so fake
No one can tell the difference
I can walk for hours and get lost
Not knowing where I’ve gone
Because I’m numb inside
And don’t really know what’s going on
I remember waking up
And then laying down in bed
I don’t remember who I saw
Or even what I said
I grab my teddy bear
And pull him to my chest
Grab my knees
And weep uncontrollably
I cry as long as my eyes will let me
And I don’t even know how late it is
The same routine in the morning will begin
I won’t know the day or the time
Because everything blurs together
When you’re as low as I


The author's comments:
Someone somewhere is struggling with the same problems that I've gone through before. They hurt, and some people don't like to talk about them, so they can pretend they don't exist. But, they do exist, and they always will whether someone acknowledges it or not. I just hope whoever reads my poems manage to get the help they need,and learn from my mistakes.
