Love, Love, Love

Love, love, love,
I can't find the final reason why
I should deprive myself of life
If love is to set free,
I ignore my needs
"Undeserving" chanting on repeat.

Held in the confines of my mind
I agonize time after time
I am nothing but failure
The realest thing I feel is hurt
Wipe a clean slate of my won battles
They are nothing but gravel
Strive for everything
Feeling capable of nothing
Feeling the weight of everything
Struggling to see the effort of my being

I cry again,
Peace please mercy me
I know love is not the enemy
I know comfort is inside of me
These days are taking everything from me
I can't carry this burden on top of me
It's weighing down on me
Keeping the spiraling at bay
Restrained from every which way
Fighting the spiraling storm drowning me till I obey.

My words are broken messages
And my reflection is broken images.
I watch myself pass in the distance
Unrecognizable.
Even if I stay here,
Defeat all my fear,
Mirrored is someone else.
My old memories dulled and gone.
My old feelings dead and wrong.

My lungs are pooling blood,
Everyday I push forward.
If I don't wake
My soul with break.
Before it was every awakened.
While I am still waiting.
While I am still changing.
While I am still believing.
