What if you
Strip away false hope
And there is nothing left?
Would you let me
Just give up?
Or would you
Lie again?
How can I
Carry on
If I only have what's real?
Why do you
Promise me
Something that's not real
But tell me
To focus on
My future?
If nothing I think
Is worth anything,
Why do I even bother?
You told me not
To live in dreams,
But I can't help myself.
I need to escape
From all of this-
It's the only way I live.
Why must you
Take away
What little hope I have,
Destroying the foundation
I've built myself upon?
Why do you send
Mixed messages?
Why can't you
Let me be
As happy as you want?
Just because
I do it differently
Doesn't mean
I can't feel.
Just let me live,
Let me be
What I want from myself.
All you ask
Is perfection,
And I can't give that yet.
Don't take
My hope
Just because it isn't yours.
This is how
I survive.
Don't let me fucking die.
