UP AND DOWN

I've given up.
Wait, no I haven't.
I've fallen.
But I'm still crawling.
This is it, I'm done.
No, never, I can make it.
Let me bleed!
I can't, I rebuke this.
Let me die, leave me.
Wait!  Save me!  Please stay!
Even breathing is too hard.
But yet I'm here laughing.
Is my soul even alive?
Yeah, it's not over yet.
Why am I drowning?
I surfaced these deep waters once before.
I am stabbed from emotional pain.
Here's a bandaid, I'm ok.
Strike 3, that's it.
But you're stronger than that.
Can you please shoot me?
Ha ha...life isn't Russian Roulette.
I've lost control.
Fight me, I ain't that weak.
But I'm lost.
No, you're searching.
AND YOU'LL MAKE IT.
