Tearing at the seams

In the mirrors cruel gaze, my reflection mocks, my flaws on full display.

In the depths of my dark abyss,

Where my self-worth is slowly crushed,

Thoughts of doubt and feelings of gloom,

Lead me to self-sabotage's tomb...

My heart aches with this undeniable pain,

I constantly wonder if anyone else feels the same,

My finger tremble with the blade,

The one that will eventually make me fade…

Thoughts of despair, endlessly spinning,

Like a storm within my mind, winning,

Fearing I'll never find my way out,

Forever lost in this dark night's rout...

The weight of judgment, crushing down,

Feelings of worthless, constantly drown,

The future's bleak, no hope to grasp,

In darkness's arms, I feel at last...

I honestly wonder if it will ever pass,

The blade slides slow across my smooth skin,

Causing a pain more than deep within

Pain-filled memories haunting my mind,

Reliving moments of my troubled kind,

Scars from the past, they'll never fade

Forever a reminder of a life betrayed...
