Lacerations to my mental
So rooted, contoured in sorrow
The affliction had taken over
With no hope for tomorrow
Constant burns in scrapes
Please take this pain away
I've been living in shame
In hopes that these feelings will fade
No matter what direction I prayed
Nothing seemed to change
I gave my life to you
I prayed and prayed to you
Dear God, what did I do?
To deserve this kind of agony
Extending so deep inside me
My mind
My soul
My body
The wounds are deep past the layers of my skin
I'm so broken up that I let you in
I let you in and now I'm broken
I could have avoided any and all disappointments
I blindly welcomed the beast in
Gradually injecting its venom
Slowly carrying out its magic
The figure will have you deluded
It comes in all shapes, shades, and sizes
The future had me blinded
Not focused on the present
Throughout all of the praying
I learned a crucial lesson
Never trust a serpent – just keep your distance.
