A Simple Question

What is wrong with me?
Head resting on the mirror
Hands in the sink
Water on my face
Water in my hands

What is wrong with me?
My mother on the phone
Snapping at a blank canvas
Hunched in the bathroom
Alone

What is wrong with me?
Sleeping too much
Or not sleeping at all
Terrible nightmares
Or hiding from them

What is wrong with me?
Eating too much
Or not eating at all
Drowning in food
Or trying to find an appetite

What is wrong with me?
Whispers into pillows
Curled in the fetal position
Quiet music playing and
tears

What is wrong with me?
Heavy breathing
Blurry eyes
Hands clutched at my head
Shaking

What is wrong with me?
Please tell me what to do to stop
Please tell me what to do
Please tell me
Please

What is wrong with me?
I don’t know.
