What Am I?
I am a kitchen sink
Water, like tears,
Run freely
I am a run down house
You don't know what that means
I might look like I'm in
Good condition
On the outside
But, the inside is a whole different story
Dark, just barely functioning
Scary
Creepy
No hope for it
I am an old basement
You have no clue what is inside
You're probably afraid to find out
It's full of cobwebs and spiders
The door was left open, for all kinds of dangerous things to fill it
My mind is a jungle
Full of man killing animals
Maybe there are nice things as well
But everybody focuses on the beasts
It's full of venomous snakes
And spiders
Venomous snakes and spiders that hold enough venom to kill 20 grown men
Spiders crawled inside
Where it was once bright
That place is now dark
Full of webs
They made themselves at home
I am a lost cause
I may seem fine
I will say that I am fine
But your definition of fine
Is not the same as mine
To you, "fine" might mean "okay"
To me, "fine" is so much less than "okay,"
Or maybe more
Because it's more words
But not the best feeling
I'm fine though, trust me
If fine is dead on the inside
Being torn more and more by the second
Being haunted by my own demons
Being tortured mentally
Mentally abused
Crying myself to sleep
Music is the best escape
From life
Which is hell
Just, on Earth
Instead of the after life

I want all the kids who feel this way to know, you are not alone. None of us are. No matter what, there will always be someone who feels similar to how you do. Some of us aren't the best at expressing our feelings. I draw, and I just started writing to express my feelings. Self harm isn't going to solve anything. No matter what it is that is wrong, it shall pass. I have been through many things. I have had my worst fears and nightmares become my reality. I never imagined I would be where I am right now, but I am here. I never thought I would be the person I am today.
