Letting Go

I don't want to try anymore,

It hurts too much,

to get crowned and,

then crushed,

The piercing pain is awful and,

illuminating,

Always there,

Slowly,

sinking beneath my skin,

It swallows everything in it's way,

making me feel extraordinarily,

empty,

Maybe i need emptied,

Drained,

dry of all of my feelings,

All of my emotions,

So i no longer can feel the hurt,

Or maybe i'm just insane,

Who knows what is going on in my endless,

broken brain,

All i know is the periodic pain of life,

Losing the cold chains from around my ruff,

bloody wrists,

Just to return them again repeatedly and,

repeatedly over and,

over again,

Like some sort of sour game,

Digging deeper,

and deeper,

Forcing more and,

m0re pain,

Pain upon my head,

And pain in my heart,

Pain within my soul,

Tearing me apart.

Just let it all go,

is what i'll do,

Become blank in a broad way,

I'll be here,

you'll see me,

I'll be perfect,

Believe me,

No it's not giving up,

It's letting go,

And letting the other me take full control,

Just for awhile until i'm okay,

So goodbye pain,

Goodbye all of life's loony games,

Goodbye for now,

I'll be back somehow
