As I slowly slip away
Inside this darkened mind
So much that I hold onto
Now I let myself unwind
Untangling my thoughts
I write them on my skin
All the secrets kept alive
But buried deep within
For a single ray of hope
I'm searching my lost heart
But all I find are ashes
of what used to be a spark
Because the fire died so long ago
And now there's nothing left to burn
How do I ask for help
When I don't know where to turn?
I'm afraid to be alone now
Where the darkness comes alive
I bring this pain upon myself
That's how I survive
I guess I'll just keep faking
And I'll never be alright
All that I have I have hoped for
Will be forever out of sight
I'll just stay here deep within
Where everything is black
Where a simple bit of hope
Is exactly what I lack
So with a heavy heart
And no one here to hold
I find a sharp inviting blade
The metal tip so cold
Press it down hard
Then run it across my arm
Feel the pain hold back the tears
I trade them for self harm
Oh girl this was fantastic. I loved it. Deep but so unique too. Brilliant. I've read a lot of your poems and they're excellent, you have so much talent! I'm gonna add u to my favourites if thats ok? xxxxx
