WHAT'S KEEING ME ALIVE

k.si._

I close my eyes and all I see is 

me fighting to save my life from myself.

I keep running as far as I can 

fighting all the demons.

 

Why does it feel so good to hurt & cut

I know I should stop but what if,

that's the only thing that's keeping me alive? Hurt.

 

Smirk as I see myself bleeding

choke to stop myself from breathing

but never kill never leaving.

 

If you ask me what's wrong with me

I'm tryna find that answer too,

every night my heart rate increases 

faster & faster, louder & louder.

 

I freeze and find it impossible to move and

all the monsters crowder & crowder,

wander & wander.

And next morning one more scar I see attached to my body forever.
