Worth It


My brain speaks to me

Telling me horrible things 

I can’t erase them from my mind

I remember it all the time 

The pain digs deeper into my brain

But I tell myself that it’s ok

I deserve it

I sit alone with my thoughts 

Telling me to kill myself 

But it’s ok 

Because I deserve it

Kill me now

I understand 

I’m not worth the trouble 

Life goes on 

So why should I be worth it

I want to be done

But  you all say no

Which makes me stay

Because you guys seem worth it
