Razor Blades and Diet Pills


Hello? Is anybody there?

Can you hear me? Do you care?

I’m screaming inside

And this laugh is a joke about how much it hurts

……

One word

One phrase

One joke

One comment

Each and every one… if timed correctly… has the power to tear you down

So I’ll ask again,

Can you hear me NOW!!?!???!?!?

……..

 

I’ll flash you a smile

Pretend that I’m happy

Even though I haven’t been for awhile

Because you can’t begin to know what I think,

As I’m standing on the brink

Somewhere between life and death

 

This madness in my head
