i didn't take my meds 
i didn't sleep right 
my head is killing me 
feeling the sting of self harm 
except not the Real kind 
just the attention seeking kind
scratches and bruises 
at least that's what my college roommate would tell me 
she was very worried about attention seeking 
and would fish it out of any situation whether it existed or not 
but really i did it to shut my brain off for a minute 
to stop the intrusive thoughts 
to have that one thing to focus on 
I'm tired of existing 
the contradictions are too much
