It keeps happening

Another year, another winter

Every single year this happens

People are the same and they make me

So alone

I can't be near anyone right now

But here I am

On a bus to my seasonal job

Where I have to smile and kiss my boss's ass

Pretend I'm fine for a few hours

It's hard to be okay when your brain is buzzing with angry hornets

And your chest is empty, cold and in pain

Too many times my heart has shattered

Too many times has it been destroyed

Not even ashes remain from my heart

All that's left is a hole  in my chest

I wish I learned to keep to myself from the start

No friends = no drama

Being the kid no one knows = invisible

Invisible = no one can hurt me

And eventually the loneliness,

and feeling of being alone would 
subside

Then that would be pure safety. No one to hurt me

No one to stare at me like everyone is on this bus

Their eyes pierce my skull

I know they can see me

I know they all whisper things about me

Can they see that my mind is racing?

Can they see that I'm drowning?

I don't want to look up and attract attention

So the tension in my skull will remain

The thought of returning to self harm are coming back now

A few times in October

A lot now in November

God it would be so good

The pain to be on my skin instead of in my chest

The blood

Oh the blood

Dripping

Staining my skin red

Running down the drain

And the scars I'd create

The old ones I have are so faded and it makes me uncomfortable

I need to stop thinking now ..
