I am: Sitting in the School Bathroom

I am tired

My ribcage aches like i’m a skeleton

Whispers blow my bones together like a wind chime

I don't speak

So I slip away and sink into the back of my mind

Coming back as a shadow

 


I am cold.

The kind of cold that fogs up windows during the winter

When there is no more room for the light to pour in

I sit and stare at the dark glass

watching as my reflection twists and turns into someone else

 


I am scared

Sitting in the school bathroom,

catching my breath and 

watching all my thoughts jump around my head

 

I am trying to figure out why I exist
