It's tough to hold on
when you're constantly
being pulled down
by your insecurities, fears,
heartbreaks and compromises.
Sometimes, when I'm lonely,
I trace my scars
and they all lead to
this dark, empty, scary place,
probably my own mind.
I have popped pills,
I have cut wrists,
but I forgot to understand
that nothing helps
and nothing works
when you are
broken beyond repair.
