Get up

A poem

Get up

Do something

Have a shower

Have a smoke

A way to leave the pit

Get up

This hurts

Stretch it out

Move around

Something to feel again

Get up

Go out

Talk to someone

Have a life

Anything to numb the pain

Get up

Scratch the itch

Slice the skin

Let the blood flow

A painful distraction

Get up

Numb is bad

Pain is good

Hold your breath

Until it all goes away

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!!!!

Get up!!!!!!

I can't

There's nothing holding the pieces together anymore

If I stand, I'll fragment

If I speak, I'll crumble

If I cry, I'll drown

So I'll just let the red river drag me away

Float like a corpse

Let the water’s eddies pull me under

I don't have to breath

Because I can't

I don't have to see

Because I'm blind

I don't have to hear

Because It's silent

I don't have to feel

Because I am crushed under the pressure

Don't get up

Don't bother

It's not worth it

It's too hard

Just give up

It'll all be over soon
