Thoughts of thinking
Overwhelming my mind
Pulse palpitating
Stomach sinking
Legs limp
Arms ajar

Every inch of me is
Burning, hurting, aching
When wounds open
Blood seeps through
Skin is torn
Scars are formed

Stitches sewn
Patching pieces

Pushing towards the limits
Going far beyond
Trying to understand
Always misunderstood
Can't comprehend
Mind going blank

Hands shaking
Fingers trembling
Lips quivering

Till you're warm
Enough to be enough
Enough to be yourself
Enough to be okay
