Stuck on Rock Bottom

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

My blood trickles from my pale arms 
Invisible to all
Seen only by me
I hate how you feel the need to protect me
Wrap your arms tightly around my waist as to not ever let go
Sheltering me from the heat and the cold
The rain and the dry winter months
There's never any comfort in depression
Never any joy in feeling alone
Yet I've had my time to dwindle upon thoughts 
Such as those
Where I could not handle the tears or regret
I'm over it
Now it's time to get back onto my feet
And breathe a single breath of fresh air
Swallow it as though I were drinking it
Living on it as thought it were feeding me life
Let me swallow my pain if I want to
I've gotten used to the lies and self mutilation
Allow me space to experiment and live my life
I dont care how much I fall anymore
I've fallen all my life
Now I'm stuck on rock bottom
Looking up at the rest of the world
I just have to deal
And I realise that.
