not enough band-aids

By AnotherWitheredRose



the days look just the same
a life full of grey walls
and spider webs





lungs are filled with dust
and my skin is caked with a red frosting
that cracks as i stretch my palms towards the ceiling
i feel the flesh try to part
as the little chips of blood are shed


todays a new day- i repeat-
(hoping to be convinced)
knowing its really yesterdays twin


i lay in the bath
soaking, in the dark shades of last nights rage
wondering where i found the strength to breathe
(i wasnt suppose to wake up for this)



i make my bedwith stained sheets
theres no way in hell they can get clean




i changed my clothes a few times
on account of the pain leaking through
(theres not enough band aids to conceal these wounds)





- My wRists are WrapPed in rIBbon
with the double knots that tie (all the life inside)-





walking down the street
my feet hit the ground
each pound echos through my head


and i know that no matter how far i walk
it wont be far enough away because...
i cant leave myself behind



everythings okay i say



todays a new day-i repeat-
(knowing im not convinced)
