Chasing a dragon she just couldn't catch
that ran through her veins and lived in her chest.
She never knew just how to react,
her very first instinct was to attack.

Tooth and claw, blade and pin
She opened her skin and hoped it would end
The fiery burn that scarred her mind
She'd claw her eyes hoping to go blind

No one could see just how much she hated herself
No one ever questioned the emotional distress
The world around her pushed her to the end
She took a breath as she stepped off the edge

Falling from the world above
No screams escaped her tired lungs
She cried for too long
In the air only silence hung

She wasn't good enough
Her attempts were lost
The world she left
She hoped was her last

One too many failures
Not enough praise
She never felt happiness
Only endless pain

She did her best but it wasn't enough
She pushed herself till her heart wore thin
So while she kept trying before the end
Her nails and blades would slice her skin

Now here she is
Falling again
Her thoughts few
Waiting for the end
