Hurting


My heart hurts. And so do my wrists. 
I keep punching walls with nothing but my fists. 
My best friend hates me and my boyfriend doesn't exist. 
Everything I do wrong plays back to me in lists. 
My head is throbbing and my tummy is tuning. 
Those bottles of pills kill but I guess I'm learning. 
My hips are bleeding. 
My whole body is screaming. Pleading to stop the scars from leaving.
