What do I have?

Don't leave.

That's all I asked, the childlike innocence in my little voice.

I was scared of abandonment.

But life killed my heart.

Don't make me go.

I don't want to be new again, too many times to count.

Being new, being killed inside.

Don't let them hurt me.

Don't let them push and tease, or point and laugh.

I don't want to be objectified.

Don't let me hurt them.

I am a monster, I can't stop hurting everyone around me.

Protect them from me, every tear rips me apart.

Let them be safe.

Please let them come back.

Every loss, every person gone takes a piece of my sanity with them.

What do I have left.

Not my heart, not my mind, not my humanity.

Nothing.
