Live Through Hell

By Colten Ellis

Why do I make things
So hard on myself
Making people think
All the wrong things
Making people wonder
What my intent is
Why do I make myself
Live through hell
Why do I do these things
To diminish what I want
Why does my head always
Ignore my thoughts
Why can't I process what
Happens in my life
Why can't my brain
Register what is wrong
Even though it felt harmless
Not everyone will think
The most pure intent
Is something to take
At it's face value
Why must I be who
This sould drives me
Why must I let my
Walls down any way
So build them I will
Make them sturdy
So noone can get in
Ever again this life
Why am I so messed up
Why does my heart
Even make me want to
Do the things I do
Even with no intent
I somehow hurt those
I care for the most
Why am I the person
That I am this life
