44. Before I Die

One day my therapist said
I'm taking too much, I should just rest
Trying to tone out the voices
Of void yelling
She said I should just talk to her

Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to let you know
Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to show how I feel
About always being the second,
I'm always the backup
For things that are hard to break

I'm an antisocial,
I've got no one on my side
When you think I have best friends,
I don't
I'm the one wearing
The invisibility cap
A constant snake in arm
Platonically married to hellspawn,
So close to it
That I think I'm becoming the hellspawn

One day my friends said I could
Talk to them if I needed any help
But when I did, I didn't ask them
They weren't worth bothering

Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to let you know
Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to show how I feel
About being pushed,
Chased away
That's why I help
To prevent you from ever feeling the same
But in the end you're just the one
That pushes me away
You know how,
It's tiring?

You said I look soulless
And you're right,
The train's left the station
Eternity stuck in location
Of my own misery and damnation
All this pain and frustration
Is everything I've taken
From you, does that make me insane?

All the abolition
Comes in poems, an ablution
It's becoming an abomination,
Hyperawareness scares me,
Oh yes, I have abreactions.

Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to let you know
Before I die, I just need to,
I just need to show how I feel
That writing is a mechanism
Designed for coping
While I lose my sense of self,
Does that make me insane?
Tell me.
