Less pain than.
So I have no pain,
Obviously.
Less beautiful than,
So I have no beauty,
This also is true.
Less than.

Less talented than,
So I have no talent,

All the ads for antidepressants have it wrong.
It isn't a weight on your shoulders.
It isn't dark tendrils pulling you into blackness.
It isn't a hole in the ground too deep for you to climb out of.
It's an ache.
Internal.
Pain deep in your chest,
Pressure.
And you can't get rid of it
Because it lives inside of you,
So you get a knife
And you try to get it out
You try to bleed it out.
And it works.
But only for an hour,
And then it comes back.
Late at night and the exit wounds multiply.
It happens more and more often until
You realize it's become an infection,

I do not deserve emotion.
For no trials have I faced,
No fear and no sadness overcome.
Yet inside my mind there is raging death.
Blood harms no one,
And pain must be self-inflicted.

Far too much pain I've never needed.
I have given up on happiness,
I have set free my hope to the sky
Where with my dreams it escapes me.
I have never deserved emotion.
No death is external here.
Merely my own mind desiring some kind of release.
I want to come so close to ending it
That I will deserve emotion.

i can't stop hurting you
i can't stop breaking me
yet vengeful and sorry smiles when red slips out
ever so slowly and so little
not enough for even a drop.
keys i won't give you
because i don't want to quit
i love to relapse.
that wonderful feeling of hurt i get
when steel cuts something designed to feel,
so much better than heartbreak i bring upon myself
by having emotions i shouldn't.
i know it is my fault
but why do you find it upsetting?
for a trigger,
i can hide it.
for my life,
they aren't that deep.
for my beauty,
i had none to begin.
