Poetry written in scars upon my legs
Blood dripping like words from a page
Verbose
They say
Always letting me know
When I've gone too far
This time
Couldn't find myself stopping
Meter met rhyme
The words kept flowing
From my hand
Did you hear what I said?
Were you listening?
Or did you turn your head?
Close your eyes?
Separate yourself
From my pain
You'll never see me
Bleeding to death
You won't be missing me
When I'm gone
It wasn't ever good enough
The perfection
I was always searching for
I had it all
Couldn't help but want more
Gave it all up
To my pretense
