i've never been more confused, tears, feeling like i've been used tired of smiling and being someone i'm not, stop, been hiding the cuts with the jerseys and long sleeved tops and, i feel a little more destroyed every day because it consumes me and apparently that won't take my pain away, stay, i know you're there but it's easier to die even though i know you care you're going to have to learn to let me go there was nothing in my mental world that you didn't know so, i'm here right now and i'm begging you bro, i do care about you, to the moon and back so how was i to tell you that everywhere i go, i'm having panic attacks and there's no planning for that depression and anxiety are two soldiers stronger than me and i'm trying to tell you that honestly i have no fight left in me would you rather have me go starting a riot and leave this world, peace and quiet i'm a prisoner of my own mind trapped in there by my own kind i know you're trying to keep me alive but deep down, i don't think i'll survive so why would i let you in my mind, so you can die too but this time by my own hand? be a foreigner in my land? our time is up and i know that you're furious curious, wondering how could i ever do this to us frustrated on what ever happened to trust but this is a lifelong neglection to my clinical depression

to those that cared.
i’m sorry, i’m sorry i created a dungeon of agony and i can’t lie and say it wasn’t my intention i’m sorry, i pierced you and slit you open then turned around and blamed my depression i’m sorry i tried so hard to make sure you didn’t survive while you tried so hard to keep me alive in all my attempts to die, you fought so hard to defy my wishes and you kept breathing body, i am sorry i tried to eliminate you and ****** you, but you just kept on healing i owe you an apology for being at war with you all this time when i should have loved you because you’re mine you begged me to be kind to you and treat you with care as i should and all i ever did was decline i’m sorry, you deserve better, which is why i am writing you this letter, i shouldn’t have been your jailor i now realise how precious you are and i vow to be your caretaker, your saviour there were nights i screamed at you and told you to just let me die there were nights i was so angry that i burned my throat yelling and watched you cry thank you, because you never stopped fighting for me i’m done trying to hurt you when you’ve loved me i’m saying this honestly, and i hope you forgive me i’m sorry dear body.
