Little adomated messages play in my Brain
I'm not the one operating them

They just play... the voices

"I'm tired" I say at night. But I don't mean sleepy- I mean tired. A tired I should not feel at this age.

"I feel sick" I say, my throat scratchy.
But I really mean sick- Sick of breathing

Messages play and play.
Tired
Sick
Not well

Vague messages that if someone were to hear me utter aloud would mean nothing more than their face value.

But I'm tired of life, of existence, and of breathing.
I feel sick.
I am sick.
My mind doesn't function.

Grooves have been carved into my brain

Just like the lines carved in my wrists

Depression and anxiety
Fear and sickness
They are not important in the grand scheme of things

Scheme is a funny word
It makes it seem like this was all planed

The blood on the bathroom floor
The grooves.
The messages

Haunting me.

Telling me I should
Just

Stop

Breathing.

That I'm worthless

That I am a bad person
