Keep Breathing

Holes in my skin
Like holes in my head
Anger seeps through them like a drug
One day I'll hurt you
I just want to feel it once
I don't give a damn what's right or wrong
I'm not sure I ever did
And if you want to judge me based on that
then go the hell ahead
I don't care anymore
I used to care, but that was my problem
If you let yourself care then you let yourself feel
If you let yourself feel...
you let yourself down
I let everyone down, didn't I mommy?
I hurt everyone's feelings
I made everyone cry
I made everyone face the truth
And the reality of it all
Was that you pushed
and hit
and screamed me away
Yes I did this
I did it all
And I...don't...care
I wish I were blind
So that every time I looked at you
I wouldn't see the pits in your eyes
The ones that made me sick to my stomach
Made me feel like a mistake
I wish I were deaf
So I wouldn't have to cover my ears
When the sirens went off
AND YOU WOULDN'T SHUT UP
So I wouldn't feel guilty when I heard you cry
When I heard you yelling to my father
About my sickness
...and you wouldn't shut up
I wish my nerve endings
Didn't reach the surface of my skin
So that I couldn't feel the fire from your
Hands
Fingers pressing into my throat
Blocking my airway
Until I can't breathe
And then I realize
The hands are mine
And I'm a little girl again
And I'm alone
In my bed
Trying to kill myself
By holding my own breath
Begging God to let it work
As I said my bedtime prayers
Maybe that's when I stopped believing...
Those nights when I kept breathing

"Maybe that's when I stopped believing...

this is tragically sad... i have a favorite saying "i need this like a hole in the head"... after reading your poem, "hole in the head" has a new meaning... keep writing it out... it's better than the alternative, and if you keep breathing, we can keep reading, your well written poetry... blessings to you... |
