This is a poem I wrote around December. I was going through a really rough time and I resorted to self harm. Even though it says I used a knife in the poem, I didn't, instead I used an eraser. I still have scars on my arms that remind me of the burns I did, and I feel extremely guilty about it. Every time I see them, I remember the anguish I put my friends through.

The reason I put this poem up is because I think this sort of what Bella felt during the months she was dead inside. While she didn't resort to self harm like I did, the feelings were very much the same.

Myself

Searching

Searching for the light in me

Searching for the fight in me

Missing

Missing my life, It ran away

Missing the knife, It told me I was still alive

Searching for myself

missing myself

Where am I

Did I just disappear

My life is gone

No More

I have quit Searching for

I have quit Missing

Myself
