Cry for Help

This is a cry for help

Please read carefully

Because you'll never hear my cries

You must read of the tears that run down my cheeks

Just to get away from me

The force my hands use as I drive my nails into my flesh

There's never blood

But as my skin begins to burn as the scratches bulge outwards

I can finally breath

Because for those brief moments that my abdomen burns

I am no longer numb

I am still empty

But at least I can feel just enough to push a little longer

If you have read this far

Don't report me

Or call someone on me

If you truly care

Or maybe have felt or are feeling my pain

You'll talk to me

Like humans do

Because I'd really like to be a human

And not just the shell of one
