Simple Solutions

I wish you'd stop caring about me

I will only hurt you.

I don't want to, but I will.

It's who I am, it's not who I want to be.

Then why don't you change?

You know the problem,

You have the solution,

It's simple logic.

It's a constant battle against myself.

I'm afraid, I'm not giving it my all.

You see, I give up too easily,

I wish I were stronger than that.

Then be the stronger than that,

You know the problem,

You have the solution.

It's simple logic.

I want to scream and shout.

I want to hurt myself and

I want to run away forever,

Because I will only hurt

Those around me, because

That is what I do.

I don't like that.

Then change.

Because, exactly, how long can you really run?

You know the problem.

You have the solution.

It's simple logic.

I will.

But is it as simple as flipping a switch?

Nothing is as simple as flipping a switch.

You know that.

I don't trust myself.

I wouldn't either, that's understandable.

Is it really, though?

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
