what I've not learned

I am such a disaster

Look what this world has taught me

Every breath breathed

Every word released

Is for the love of me

Is this what my life must be

A living dying entity?

Because i am so tired

Of living in this self absorbed agony

Yet i cannot bring myself to deny me

And who can i turn to

Who could understand

The pain of loving me

Every day i live

I lose a bit more of my mind

Every night i sleep

The more im scared of my thoughts

Who can release me

From this unmitigated agony

Someone wash me up and cleanse me

Steal me from myself

My double faced self

Steal me up with you

Dress me in pure white

Whisper in my ear

Stories of love and lack of fear

Because im still down here

Down in the depths of the ocean

I pray release

And yet im still drowning

What is this pain that i do not die

And yet I cannot live

Release I scream

Yet you ignore me

Is everyone so sad

That they ignore the drowning girl

I drown in the liquid

of my own lack of self control
