not art

 



there are crescent moons under my eyes
distinct lines crisscross in shapes and patterns
across my skin but I am not art
and nothing can save me from myself
I know this because who do you turn to
when you don't believe in anything
what do you reach for when you can't feel a thing
I can only hear the silence around it all
and it is sharper than any word
I've ever uttered in pain
