I'm only the shadow of myself I don't exist anymore I'm my ghost So you can't see me Hear me Or even talk to me Though you never did before So why would you now ?
You start talking to me And try to make me talk to you And I so wish I could tell you those things, everything All those things I keep inside Those things I hide from you As you're talking to me I hope you will never shut up And I'm thinking : "Please don't stop talking to me ! Don't leave me alone, I need you!" So for a while I will be strong as you're there Because I know you care And hopefully I won't do it
Whether it is now or when I was a kid You never listened to a word I say You made me become silent As I always knew I wasn't important And meant nothing to anyone Thanks to you !
Over the years something else became my closest friend And that's something you could never understand Over the years it helped me ease some of my pain Emotional pain gone for a too short moment physical pain to gain
If my tears could make my pain go away I would cry everyday But there's no tears inside My only tears are red and don't come from the eyes Those tears I have to hide
My skin reflects my soul Nothing anyone could ever be told My secret wounds I hide everyday Show everything I can't say All those marks that will never heal For everything you wouldn't hear That fake smile on my face It's not like you care
In my 30s, self diagnosed BPD, suffering so much everyday yet telling nobody, secretly wishing someone could save me... Hard to talk this is why I write anonymously.
