Leave Me Be Poem by Violet Warren

am not okay
these scars just don't fade away
and no matter what they say
my memory will always beat the same way

as least you can still breathe
I'm caught in the transparency
of who I am, and who I used to could be
I'm crawling on the floor with the blood I do adore
and I don't think it helps to be waiting for
someone to walk through the door

nobody out there cares whether I live or die
I'm such a piece of work; I'm just chalked full of lies

but is it really about is me?
is it really about this?
are these games only to impress
or are they to achieve what will never forgive
happiness

these roses are black
but their petals are white
this darkness consumes us
but we still have time to try
to leave, leave me be
