I am an infection on this earth
Corrupting the dirt and spreading plague
Everyone stays away from me like I'm some kind of STD
You don't want me in your life because I'll just ruin things
I feel as if I have no point here, may I just disappear?
Smear me against your pants like unwanted food on your hands
Compress me and shove me into storage space, one full of forgotten things
Throw me down your throat like a shot of vodka, I want to be the alcohol that you drank in place of me
I am a catastrophe, a disaster waiting to wreak havoc on a city
So very weak is what I used to be, I'd constantly fall into a sea that is the darkest black
I can't believe you left me just like that
This will honestly be the hardest thing to shove into the cemetery that is my mind
I need to find a way to shoot the memories of you and me so far into space
Last year all I could do is float, now I've learned how to swim
Now I just need to find a place to peacefully swim away
I haven't found it today, but someday I will
I've found a cure to the infection that I am, I've lessened my depression and became less isolated
You're no longer on the surface, you're not an obstacle anymore
Not in my budget at last, I'm finally healing fast
