Time to tell you,
Who I really am.
It's time for you,
To choose,
If you can accept who I am.
I'm,
Depressed,
I have anxiety,
I'm weird,
I'm out of the box,
I'm different.
I have anger issues,
I have mental issues,
I have family issues,
I have problems.
Everyday,
I wake up,
Thinking,
I'm pushing everyone away,
And,
Lately,
I have been.
I'm paranoid,
I'm hard to even get to know.
My trust,
I have issues with it.
I can't fully trust anyone,
Without fears,
Without the devil piercing,
his claws of paranoia,
Into,
My back.
Planting seeds,
Of doubt,
In my mind.
I cause many people to run away,
I come off so mean.
Even when,
I try to hold myself,
I fall,
And,
it leaves.
Each word,
That I say,
Makes Him,
Drag his claws deeper into me.
He tries,
To show me,
Pain.
But,
I've lived with His claws,
In my back,
For most of my life.
I found you,
And He realized,
I was happy.
The claws got deeper,
The seeds of Doubt,
Were planted faster.
All He wanted,
Was for me to scream.
I held myself back from screaming,
But,
The only issue,
With holding back,
Is I take it out,
On those around.
In the long run,
He causes me pain,
And because,
I hide it,
I upset and anger,
Those around.
These things,
I've known they're my fault.
It's becoming more of a death wish,
Everyday,
They only get deeper.
Shredding my back,
Skin's not a problem,
Not to Him.
He whispers in my ear,
Telling me it's okay,
As His claws,
Sink deeper in.
That's,
Who I am.
No one,
Yet,
Has tolerated me for as long as you have.
He says you'll leave,
Just like everyone else.
And it kills,
To have Him whisper those words,
Each,
And,
Every,
Day.
