I wonder if I’ll keep trying to fix all the people who are already unfixable. I wonder if I’ll keep cutting myself trying to put their shattered pieces together. I wonder if I’ll ever learn that they won’t stop me from bleeding when they are the ones who keep slashing my veins.

not to give a fuck when you
really do. the worst part is
trying to close your heart
when its doors have been blown
to pieces.
