How To

Feeling the urges
As everything merges
Blood becomes skin
Skin blends into mush
Ashes, Ashes
Dashing to the end
The end of the story
No time to make amends
The end
Press send
Post it on Instagram
It may be deep
As a blade cuts me
But you don't see anything
Ding, Dong
Screaming floods the halls
Mom is dead
Or so they say
As we hit day
As we meet the milestones
Our bones will creak
Our screams will fade
Coming of age
Subjects changing
Don't leave me hanging
But you will, as always
If looks could kill
Someone please save me
Fix all the loose screws in my brain
Bring all your tools
Make me okay
Now it's May
I'm still messed up
It's been so long
Yet I keep hearing that song
In my head
Commanding me
What to do
Who is who
Breaking the rules
Reality's cruel
Nonsensical
Wishing to be whole
Everything's dull
Losing color
Losing meaning
Feelings are bare
My mind is screaming
But I am silent
What does it all mean
Whatever is last seen
Can someone make the pain go away
My blade is gone
The bleeding won't stop
I'm feeling cold
I must be numb
I can't be different
Must be sane
