slam poetry (just for fun)

People always leave me
Eventually everyone gets tired of the girl who is depressed for no reason
I do
And if I'm not cutting
I'm not eating
And if not that
I'm punching the wall or myself until my son is a unnatural shade of purple
But that doesn't do anything for me
There isn't a way to fix me
I don't need a reason not to do these things
Because they can take every good thing and morph it into something
Anything
That could ever possibly go wrong
I love you more than anything
But what happens when I can't communicate a boundary
And then it's passed
What happens when I'm too fucking scared to talk
Even to you
Because what hurts me the most
Is the pain I inflict on others
Simply by harming myself.
You can't run from all your problems
Not if they're in your head
And every single thing I'm trying to run from
Is inside me
How can I kill them
Without killing myself?
That's just it, nothing
I can't .
