DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN
that only makes It worse

DON'T TELL ME TO RELAX
that just makes me more wild

DON'T TELL ME NOT TO CRY
I've already held It too long

DON'T TELL ME I'M TOO STRESSED
what do you think I'm trying to tell you

DON'T TELL ME TO BREATH
I can't stop suffocating

DON'T TELL ME I SEEM LIFELESS
It because I'm already dead

DON'T TELL ME YOU CARE
It just another lie

DON'T ATTEMPT TO FIGHT MY MONSTERS
because they're Inside me

DON'T TELL ME TO KEEP TRYING
because you see me slowly dying
