This life isn't mine

It belongs to someone else.

I'm out of my mind
-thinking how I can deserve this simple kindness
When I have a soul blacker and darker than night time itself.

I'm not gonna cry,
Or at least I try not to,
I'm not gonna - not anymore.

I'm not gonna die,
Even though I tried to,
I'm not gonna - not anymore.

I'm gonna take my time,
No normal person is so fast to get better...right?
And then these thoughts swirl around my mind again
- like the swirl effect blood makes when you try wash it off your hands.

They say "Everyone's treated equally."
I don't think everyone was present during that time when they made that plans.
