I looked at all of my suicide notes,
Stacked in a pile
Of tabs.
Never once on paper have I
Apologized directly to everyone,
Doesn't mean I haven't apologized.
You think this shit is venting.
Pretentious teenage angst.
I'm at wits end,
And where the fuck are you?
At work, waiting for the call
From guidance?
"She's really struggling, I think
She's in a rough spot."
No kidding.
All of this is just another load.
An attention seeking,
Ungrateful response...
To what?
If I cared so much about the spotlight,
Why would it's rays burn my skin?
If I was ungrateful,
Would I refuse care because
I waste too much by just existing?
I am drowning in
I would gladly strangle
All of those who tell me
Eating disorders are a choice
With the tape they use to measure their hips.
I would, without hesitation
Beat a person with their prized scale
If they let on that in their head,
Eating disorders are lifestyles.
Anorexia is not your fucking
Pass to be cool or paid mind to.
It is not your new fucking purse
That you got for free with a coupon on the internet.
Anorexia is not a new pair of
Pretty red shoes that glitter in
The right light and make all of your
Friends drool in envy.
Anorexia is not a little black dress
Or the size fucking two your
Sister would kill to fit in
And the pride you fuc
I'm drowning
In my own misery
I reach out
Searching for a helping hand
But nobody is there
And so I sink
Still trying to reach a hand
That is not there
Mommy shakes her head because she doesn't understand.
She calls it "food issues" and makes it seem trivial,
Asks what she can do to help you, and when you tell her,
Things don't change.
Mommy gets angry when you're too weak to go to school.
She calls you lazy and makes it seem like this is a game,
Asks your therapist why she has to walk on eggshells
In her own house.
Daddy demands to know what the fuck those pink lines are.
He tells you that shit will leave ugly scars.
He lets you know he's not happy with this and won't have a cutter
Under his god damn roof.
Daddy laughs at all the big women that step outside of their homes.
He nudges your
I once said that people are naive, And i stand by that statement still. We are naive in many different ways, about many different subjects. My next story to you is a sensitive one, one close to my heart. It's about a subject which effects nearly everyone. {Even if we are not aware of it} Yet, we are still so naive about it. My story is about Self Harm.
What was the first thing that came to your mind when you read those words? A person? An image? A stereotype? Possibly, a feeling or memory? Nothing at all? For me, all of those. I think of my friends, showing me scars, in need of support.. or help. I think of a blade, a wrist and blood. I thin
