Black is all I see,
Dark and alone and I wish I could be
What I could have been,
Could've achieved,
But I'm scared
Of what they'll say.
I'm scared
Of what I'll become.

So I stop and I close my
Eyes,
Hoping that maybe I can just transcend
Past the ropes that bind me,
The things that blind me-
I've got a stigmatism in my
Mind
And now I can't see straight.
I try my best to find a pair of glasses to help,
But I can't find a doctor that will adhere to my prescription.
I accept my blindness and use
My mouth
Instead,
Spitting out words,
Verses, curses,
A prayer to anyone who will listen
That someone will
Relate,
Rate,
Even just hate me, god damnit,
Because that's the only way people will actually pay attention to me.

Wish I could just
Stop, drop, and roll
Away from these problems,
Maybe the things I've known since my childhood will save me in the end.
All the grown-ups telling me,
"Stay positive, Stay happy, Stay alive"
ITS NOT WORKING.

save me save me save me
From this hell I've created for myself,

please.
