The fragility of my soul frightens me

The staggering weight of the overwhelming

could shatter me with a simple breeze

I am a flower wilting

I'm dying in the sun and there is no rain

I have given my life away

bled out from the wrists cut by my love

I have no love left to give

for myself

I was not taught how to live myself

I see those walking around with bandages that scream

Stay Strong

I think God forgot to stock my supply closet

I'm told to give and give and not be selfish

I am not selfish

I am not selfish

Someone teach me to be selfish

Because what is looking into the eyes of God

and telling him you tried your best

When you have opened your eyes in the morning

the weight of your tears dragging you down

and still done you best

my legs have broken

my heart is stolen

But still I bleed

and scream for the life of me

that's fading

simply

drained
