Isn\u2019t there anything you can\u2019t do?<\/p>\n
Sometimes compared to you<\/p>\n
My insignificance becomes too much to bear.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like pulling each strand of hair<\/p>\n
Out, piece by piece.<\/p>\n
Like tearing your teeth from their roots<\/p>\n
And having nothing to put them in but old boots.<\/p>\n
So that each time you try and take a step,<\/p>\n
You\u2019re reminded<\/p>\n
That you<\/p>\n
Aren\u2019t worth<\/p>\n
The fucking prep<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Help me<\/p>\n
I\u2019m<\/p>\n
Not<\/p>\n
Right<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sometimes I wish I was alone.<\/p>\n
Deep in space.<\/p>\n
Feeling my lungs burst.<\/p>\n
Because maybe then I\u2019d feel real.<\/p>\n
Maybe then I\u2019d be okay.<\/p>\n
Maybe in the midst of dying<\/p>\n
I\u2019d remember who I am.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t look at me like that.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not someone to poke and prod at.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m human.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They tell you that strength is a blessing.<\/p>\n
I wish it were true.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you ever feel like you\u2019re the only one<\/p>\n
Holding up the world?<\/p>\n
That if you were to so much as breathe,<\/p>\n
Everything would crumble down<\/p>\n
On everyone around you?<\/p>\n
How hard would it be to carry that weight<\/p>\n
Once you knew<\/p>\n
How much weight it actually carried?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aren\u2019t we all screaming something?<\/p>\n
In our heads, in our throats.<\/p>\n
Aren\u2019t we all dying for someone to notice?<\/p>\n
How can we help ourselves<\/p>\n
If we can\u2019t even ask for help?<\/p>\n
Our throats are too sore,<\/p>\n
Our breath is shallow.<\/p>\n
No one can understand us now<\/p>\n
That we\u2019ve screamed for so long.<\/p>\n
No one cares to listen to a mute.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I almost lost you.<\/p>\n
Shattered glass against the concrete floor.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all you were.<\/p>\n
So fragile.<\/p>\n
A slip of the hand<\/p>\n
And everything you are is broken<\/p>\n
To<\/p>\n
Pieces.<\/p>\n
And those who are left to<\/p>\n
Pick those shattered remnants up,<\/p>\n
Are left with bloodied hands and<\/p>\n
Cut up fingers.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t fix you if you\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t fix you if you shatter.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t shatter on me.<\/p>\n
Please.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t shatter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
