I’m weaker than before
My eyes want to close
The urge to hurt myself went away
The feeling shot through my arms once again
My eyes start to open a little wider than before
The “feeling”
It’s back
Through my whole body
It now runs
My eyes became watery
Yet did not spill
They were stuck inside of me
Letting me drown with the negatives
Not sending me any sort of lifesaver
I slowly began to sink
In this impure blood from within
That cannot and will not bleed out
To make it more shallow
So I can stand
And stop sinking
For I cannot swim.
