You pull down your sleeves
in front of your friends
Tell them your fine
but you know your just decieving them
cause the truth is all you are
is just one big complication
Your body is so wasted
you almost smell of formaldehyde
Every other word is a trigger
making you want to hole up in your room
and blast loud angry music
while you carve up your arm
or starve yourself even smaller
You place all your self worth
on the numerical value
of the electronic display on your bathroom scale
the lower the better
To you, your life is no longer meaningful
unless it's slowly fading away
You are a vampire
sucking your own blood
and health away
You say all you want
is to just be left alone
but then you complain
that no cares and that you are deeply misunderstood
You cry out for help
over and over again
but then when help is offered
you cringe and walk away
One of these days you're going to
be beyond a point of saving
One of these days they're going to find
that you are more dead then alive
They'll call for medical intervention
They'll put you on life suport
But we all know that you'd rather
the heart monitor show a flat lin

I think some of the lines were too long to fit in properly.
A good poem though.
Thankyou for entering.
