“Why didn’t you ask for help?”
When I didn’t write for weeks
I was asking for help
When I stopped smiling
When I stopped laughing
When happiness became fake
I was asking for help
When I began to eat less
I was asking for help
When I isolated myself for days
I was asking for help
When your heart shatters
Into a million little fragments
You learn to speak without words.

There are many moments
Where I don’t feel
Deserving
Of the attention
Today I’m reminding myself
Of how far I’ve come,
All the years I’ve spent
Living in pain
I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received
For as long as I can remember
People fade in and out of your life
Eventually lost in the past, forgotten
I read their letters after sunset
I still hear their words in my head
Constantly reminding me
Of his brutal honesty
“If you wanna starve yourself, go ahead,”
“All my friends say you’re too ugly for me.”
