Take a second to look inside
Try to see the sadness I hide
I'm not okay, why can't you see?
There're demons and evil inside of me
They're taking over and I lost my mind
I cannot relax or sleep or unwind
They wake me up late at night
They try to hurt me or cause me fright
They tell me I'm worthless and that I should die
I think I believe them, I don't think they lie
They've become my friends and I keep them close
They keep me feeling numb and morose
At the end of the day when I'm alone and bleeding
I can count on them to keep me believing
They've handed me pills and they've given me rope
They tell me the world has taken my hope
So I'm writing this poem to say my goodbyes
I'm sick of this world and I'm done with your lies.
