she tumbles through the day
a jumbled mess of despair

the world is a dark monochrome grey
and the only colour are the red lines
she draws on her wrist

alone in a dark room she sits
crying, not for help
but for the pain to end

no pill could take her sorrows away
no words could comfort her
like how sleep cradled her gently

all she wanted to do
was rest her weary body
before it drowned in society's

cruel sea
