"I AM FINE"


My scars are beautiful
Tears drizzle over the canvas of my face
i look like a cold piece of pain drenched art
i manage to break into a thousand beautiful pieces
but still manage to put myself together when
i have to force a smile and say..
"I am fine"

My thoughts flirt
with the idea of suicide
razor blades have become way to kind to me
darkness became my light
giving up has become my fight

A coffin live in my chest
my anatomy is disfigured
my thoughts on happiness
have been reconfigured
so please

Do not expect a forest
when i am desert
Do not expect soul
when i am dust
Don't look for a possible future
when i am a minute ago

Don't expect me to live
when life has taken my
last breathe away
