when i am awake, i want to sleep
be rid of the feelings my soul can keep
i’m keenly aware of the dark clouds within
they hold me back with chains round my skin
my skin breaks open from the constant pull
leaving blood and scars alone to rule
the scars are much deeper than they first appear
i feel i’ve been slit from ear to ear
can someone please help me….do you hear my cry?
“i’m weary of this battle,” i say as i sigh
