I'll try not to kill myself
"Love you, too"
I call out to my mom
As I enter my room.
And as soon as the door shut closed,
I fall to the floor,
My head in my hands,
Crying vigorously.
"I'm sorry, Oh I'm sorry"
I cry out to nothing,
My room still and non-responding.
Curling up onto the floor,
Breathing heavily as I sob some more.
"Why did I lie, straight to my mom's face?
That I was alright, and not mentally off pace?"
I mummer to myself before sitting up straight,
Staring over to the razor blade underneath my pillowcase.
"Its not worth it"
I lie to myself now,
But It's always worth it to bleed your heart out.
So I wander over to my bed,
And get out all the rage.
"At least I didn't kill myself...
But maybe another day"
