I Hurt Myself
*okay just so everyone knows this isn't about me! I read a book that inspired this poem
I Hurt Myself
Today I hurt myself
hurled my body
wanted to crush my chest
Today I lied in wake
my enemies became my mistake
they won today
because I hurt myself
I wanted to bleed
wrist slashes became part of me
on a bench
I picture the gun to my head
the park is full of happy people
but all I live in is a haze
because I shot up today
Today I became the stranger
so far removed from myself
seems as though I lost self control
did it happen in that dirty room
from so long ago?
Today I visited the currents
because today I drowned
Today I hurt myself
the belt buckle felt so good against my neck
to leave my thoughts dangling
I remebered the bruises of my neglect
how could you leave
never look back at me
did you ever noticing my hurting?
Today I hurt myself
with shots of drinks
that went down so fast
poison doesn't always kill in minutes
injection of your sin
I used to be a cutter
just like at my scarred skin
