Want

I want to curl up
And rock away
From this world

I want to scream
And show everyone
I am not permanent

I want to tear my skin
And find 
Whatever is hiding inside

I want to kick and punch
Leave marks and scars
That can be seen

I want to run 
From my tangled mess
It never leaves

Marks

Fingernail indentations

Marked onto my skin

I stare at them silently

As you keep talking

I curl my hand back

Open and close

And I watch them bleed

While you keep talking

I dig in deeper

Trying to unleash

The emptiness inside of me

And you keep talking
