I guess I'm not better.

Troubled thoughts, always broken parts,
I don't think I can make it anymore.
For all that I've suffered and I tried, that's it
I'm done.
School was a terror, the nagging voice just applied pressure,
Now I have feelings that I can't measure.

Please God,
I know I don't believe and have taken you for granted.
I know I never took the time to learn about you,
I know I once prayed to you to make me straight,
I know the sins I've committed for more than ten years.

I can't forget, never forget-
All my shames, all my scandals,
All are engraved such as food into mantels.
All the insults and injuries this body has taken,
But at this point I can't be bothered to remember them.

I know this is punishment for something I've done,
Making me suffer and dwell with my thoughts-
You're allowing me to breathe after I've drowned for too long.
You're making me bring back what once was gone.
And I can never forgive you or myself for making these thoughts go on.

I hope you all feel alright today.
