Reasons Why
written 08/09/16
So much disappointment,
So much hate,
So much lies,
So many things that I'm afraid.
I seek to punish,
I seek to find pain,
I seek to feel alive,
I find that I've died.
I'll keep it hidden,
I'll keep it safe,
I'll keep it clean,
I'll let no blood stain.
I am so sorry,
I am not ashamed,
I am living dead,
I'll be okay
I scratch to feel,
I scratch to burn,
I scratch to live,
I dig to remember.
I'm sorry I did it,
I'm sorry I'm weak,
I'm sorry I started,
I apologize I'm not what you want me to be.
