remembering is hard

I dont remember the day
The day I started saying
"When i kill myself"
Instead of "if"
The day I first chose to starve
The day I picked up a blade
And learned to dismantle a sharpener
The first day I wore a hoodie in 30⁰C

The first time i begged to die
And messaged my friends "I love you"
Only to delete them the next day
The day cutting was my first choice
The day I stopped wanting to be here
And the day I first felt truly alone
The day i started giving up

The day I started to be groomed
And gave in to "please i wont share it"
For him to later call me fat and ugly
The day I first made myself sick
The day I started to memories calories
Or cried in a restaurant bathroom
The day my hair started to thin

The day my body felt cold in summer
And I couldnt look at myself at all
Having coffee and a cig for dinner
The day the bullying started
The day sleeping was all I could do
Because I was too exhausted for life
The day I changed forever
