Thoughts of thinking
Overwhelming my mind
Pulse palpitating
Stomach sinking
Legs limp
Arms ajar
Every inch of me is
Burning, hurting, aching
When wounds open
Blood seeps through
Skin is torn
Scars are formed
Stitches sewn
Patching pieces
Of my own
Back together
Imperfectly placed
Yet perfectly planned
Pushing towards the limits
Going far beyond
Trying to understand
Always misunderstood
Can't comprehend
Mind going blank
Hands shaking
Fingers trembling
Lips quivering
Everything is suffocating
Asphyxiating
Tolerable
That's just how it is
Freezing cold
Until it's not
Till you're warm
Enough to be enough
Enough to be yourself
Enough to be okay
