Poems collection -Self harm (trigger warning)

Imagine

Imagine waking up every morning,

Hearing voices in your head,

"You just want to die"

"You don't deserve to be here"

"Starve until you're beautiful"

The real people are telling you to stay,

But they're not always there.

"Hurt him"

"Hurt them"

"Hurt yourself"

You're imagining the pain,

The relief from the voices,

"Just do it"

"Just stab him"

"Just kill her"

You can't anymore,

Imagine your death,

"That's all you do"

"That's all you want"

"That's what you need"

So you do it,

So you die. Never to imagine beauty again.
