Poem: i don't trust anyone, not even my own shadow.
i'm destined to lose this battle
feel like a soul trapped in this body
i wanna break away and fly and be free
but someone is holding me back,
that someone is me.
who am i?
shit i can't tell you.
I don't even recognize who i am anymore.
i didn't ask for it nor do i welcome it,
but it's here and i have to face it.
i run from this monster who is chasing me
lost in my head with thoughts that are scattered
beaten, bruised and exhausted like an old soul battered.
u say u wanna be here and u understand
but i see the toll it's taking and please don't be mad
it's not me who speaks and acts,
it's me losing the battle as the monster attacks.
be careful because this beast is fierce
it know no limits and it sheds no tears.
it's angry and ugly and mean for no reason
i do pray for a remedy so that way i can treat 'em.
tell me u know what it feels like to be angry all the time.
tell me u think u understand and that everything will be fine.
i dare u to because honestly i can't see it
this creature wants trouble and he fucking means it.
am i destined to lose this battle?
feel like i already lost
this monster is stronger than i could have ever imagined...
