Being no More

I think of my life as a ticking time bomb

One day it will just explode the room

One day I will be no more

And it just might be before I get my own car

I think of the times that I slit my wrists

And I'm just think of how badly wanted to hit

Myself

And the times I wanted to kill myself

When people ask are you fight?

Or flight?

But why can't you do both at the same time

But then again if I did I would still rhyme

The rhymes would be the air I breathe

The scratching my head when I do it would tell people to leave

Some say their brain is like a Steele trap

But mines like a angry little cat

I want to claw and bite and scratch

But at the same time I'm so attached

Attached to the people I love

Attached to my religion my god that is up above

People say they don't believe

They think they need to see to believe

But that's not the point of believing

It's not the point of living

Believing is putting your trust in something

When you don't even trust your own flesh and blood

When you give yourself to some to examine your brain like their looking under the hood

Of an old best up car and they are shaking their head

Wondering how it got this bad

The engine is shot

But it's the only good thing they got

I see a dog locked in a cage

Filled with loneliness and rage

It's like my depression

I try not to listen

As I brush my teeth

Hoping to brush till its clean

But in my head I still scream

I close my mind so I can sleep but still I cannot dream

Anxiety knocks on my door

Like wavws coming in against the shore

I stay up for hours

Trying to sleep away my sarrows

I turn on music

I blare it

Hoping that will take care of it

It doesn't

It can't

It won't

They ask me what can they do

They can go

But then I will think about them when they go

And I will be a broken watch

Hoping for the one day when the battery will die and it will stop
