****this is a bit long but i think it will be worth a read?****** Waiting for my chance I have been trying so hard Stressing every effort All that I have left Still I know when I'm not wanted I just know when I don’t fit in I can take the hint of exclusion I get the point of alone Yet I cant bare to go on I cant seem to get a grip Everything seems to get better Just as soon as my hand slips Is there another way I want to avoid how this feels Let me hide from this Or just die today Im just a faded point in time I never even existed Forget about what I have done Im not worth a dime Not seeing clearly anymore I cant seem to shake this Is it even worth my effort? I wonder why I matter, and what’s this all for? I see my reflection, but is that really me? Someone who looked familiar Someone I once knew Its all blurry, I cant even see These nightmares, they haunt My imagination runs wild It all goes so fast I sit and watch as they taunt My lids become heavy, so tired I become I am worn out, so exhausted I ache for something real I wait for my antidote, I wait for it to come So clearly I have failed Because I haven’t come to far And clearly I am wasted For the night is never done Drag me along Take me on this ride I try to hold on And I take a deep breath While I let it all subside It dwells within me, silently As I slowly die I would breathe but I don’t know if I should I feel so limited, so bound I would try but I don’t know if I could I cant make this work for me So what happens if there’s nothing left I’ve drained my self dry I cant do anything else So I sit and cry I feel so helpless, so out of reach I sit here and take it day after day There is only so much I was built for So much that I can take Its all so heavy, then I start to break I feel like I cant move As I am being taken advantage of I freeze, I am paralyzed I cant ever feel love I don’t ask anymore if it will ever work out Because I just cant beat it I cant beat the inevitable I sink and fall into this destruction pit I feel alone, so cold This flawless girl, perfect face With perfect hair, perfect smile to boot The image lies, because its not the truth I put on this makeup But its really just a mask I put on this mascara Its all just a task I curl my hair So perfect to the eye I cover the blemishes But then I start to cry This makeup washes off But I cant seem to do the same Cant shake this sadness And Im the one left to blame It seems so perfect from the outside Inside im a mess Im a complete disaster There’s no where left to hide I may fool you And I have fooled many This beautiful girl, with so much inside So many flaws its getting hard to hide Its becoming rough to go on It doesn’t seem like an option Nothing left but to just know Just know Im alone So is it all worth it? Should I still hold on? I would but I feel tired The real me is gone I take this abuse as my mind starts to shatter I end it now because it doesn’t even matter |
