i lay awake, gazing at the twilight

Wondering how it got so bad,

How it kept on draining all my might.



I go above and beyond

round and round,

I hear whispers and

glance at faces with sneers.



I revel in the middle,

I lose at the end,

Crazy how much I've got to mend.



I will myself to rein in the urges,

Courage from deep within emerges,

but the demon's still there, peeking

through the curtain,

I run and hide,

my fallen grace still very uncertain.



What would it be like to just end it all,

To not disappoint, to not fend them all,

To not fear the uncontrollable,

To not be the only one who is so

unlovable.


To feel no pain, to end the sorrow,

To smile away the fear of tomorrow,

To breathe and feel no guilt,

Make them proud and see her not wilt.



For once, to be better,

I try to persevere

To bring joy as not to upset her,



I pick away at the parts of me,

Pull myself apart just to fill her with glee.



Oh, mother, I'm tired now,

My hopes in shambles,

I admit defeat with bow.



I lay awake,

my wrist now numb,

wondering how it got so bad,

How it kept on draining all my might.
