Save me

by Emma B   Jan 28, 2007


Can you hear me?
Do you see me?
I take this deep breath and
step off the edge.
I'm too small, I'm too weak.
Here I am again, right back at square one.
You ask me, me me
what is it?
How can I respond?
It's the weight of my guilt.
It's my self hate.
I'm nothing you want.
Failure, failing, sinking.
I've lost myself and I can't
find me.
Oh, I call and call for my name but no one responds.
I'm vulnerable, on the verge of tears and
no one can see.
I can't open up.
You hug this body and you never feel all the emotions tingling on my flesh, yearning to get out and scream.
I'm too small, I'm too weak.
Can you hear me?
Will you save me?
