A Hand Riddled With Scars Reaching Out
I dont want to drag anyone down with me
I’m angry, sure
But not that angry
Honestly, I’m just tired
Too tired.
I don’t sleep at night anymore
Because it’s the only time I have
Time
To just relax
And be.
I join too many clubs
And activities
And
I have too many ideas
And I’m done.
I’m done creating
Done destroying
Done setting my bridges on fire
And walking across them
Smiling.
I reject the arms
That hug me
Because
My cactus spikes
Will harm it.
I hate the thoughts
That want me
Since to be wanted
Is inevitably
Hurting somebody.
I bite the hand
That feeds me
So that maybe
it’ll finally
Let me starve.
A bleeding hand
Reaches out to help me up
But here on the ground gravity is heavy
Too heavy to stand
Without pulling it down too.
So I pull
Until I’m tired
And once I’m tired
I let go
And try again tomorrow.
