She Knows.

She knows she is a slave to her emotions,

She knows she lost control

She knows to fight for freedom

She knows she's fading fast.

She knows she's desperate for sweet release

She knows to rely on the physical discomfort to drown the internal sorrows.

She knows that breaking the cycle will be near impossible,

She knows it wont be easy,

She knows that what she's doing is killing herself,

She knows no other way.

Child of Grief

The only child of grief,

A mother to pain and sadness,

Hides behind a blade

She stays close to it

For it is her lifeline, her safety cord

That keeps her from fading away.

She needs a knight in shining armor,

Something I will never be,

To pick her up and take her away,

To a land free from misery.
