I have to say
I owe it all to you.
Because now the water is bright red
Instead of a faint blue.
It's like I'm stuck on repeat-
Bent over tying my shoe.
And each and every time
I get knocked back down by you.

Sometimes I feel
As if my life is a lie.
You'll laugh and sing
While I leave to cry.
The voices in my head
Are like a big button that is red.
Screaming, "press me, press me
And you'll end up dead!"

For if I die,
It'll be okay.
It's not like anyone is going
To miss me anyways.
~a.k.
