Shutdown Thoughts

I wish I could just be fine

I should be

But I'm not.

A fool wrapped in a blanket,

hiding from the thoughts 

that haunt my useless brain.

That's me. 

The self-destructive fool.

I can't even bring myself to be grateful for the quiet.

 I miss the noise that normally makes me flinch away from people.

I miss working out at the gym. 

I miss lifting weights that made bodybuilders jealous.

I miss jiujitsu.

I miss tae kwon do.

I miss the only coping mechanisms I had. 

I just wish that I wasn't fucking stupid. 

That I could stay away from my blades.

That I didn't relapse.

I miss wanting to be alive. 

I miss school even though I hated that place. 

I miss the few friends I had.

I miss my senior year. 

I'll never be able to take any of this back.

It scares me.

My thoughts scare me. 

My mind scares me.

How the hell am I supposed to stay alive?
