Poem: I look through my diary from beginning to end,
it’s a struggle and I''m not ok,
not willing to pretend.
I think I’ve lost the plot
and now everything’s coming out.
I pop another pill
coz they’re meant to be helping me out,
but look at me now.
I’m so sick of me now,
selfish and a liar.
They always said I’d get burnt if I played with fire. But I stopped caring what they thought
and all their words fell short.
At the end of the day I''m the only one to blame
for why I''m like this.
I don’t like this but I can’t keep fighting it.
I’m on a self-destruction mission,
about to explode.
Today I hate myself,
I don’t know why
or where it comes from,
but I know I need to stop it
or maybe next time I really will be done.
I’d do whatever it takes
to get me the hell out of this place.
I’m not scared of dying,
just getting fed up with trying.
And I can’t deny it anymore
so settle down for the encore....
