I am myself May 2014
I am a boat
Rocking in the waves
I lost my anchor
Now I can't stay
I'm floating
But for how long
I'll crash into the rocks
To hear the siren song
As I sink to the bottom
I know for sure
There is no rising
Not for me
No more
I am myself May 2014
I just want to curl up
Comfy and cozy
Someplace where I am safe
And sleep forever more

There won't be anymore tears
No broken heart
No one can leave
I will be gone

The box doesn't have to be special
Just enough to keep the dirt out
I'll stay pristine
At least for a while

And my heart will be dormant
Blank and cold
Nothing on it
No more pain

Just let me sleep
The rest
That lasts
For an eternity
I am myself Apr 2014
It has been
Over a year
A hell of a long time
That To me you've been dear

You are my waking smile
And the dream I have inside
My last thought
When I turn out the light

I have fought for you
I will continue to do so
Because my darling
You make my life beautiful

Yeah whatever
You've made me cry
I couldn't care less
I just want to call you mine

A year ago
That is what you were
I was your moon
You are my sun and stars

In an ever revolving galaxy
You are my center
My air
My source of gravity

You keep me together
When it feels like I'm falling apart
Darling I'm no Indian giver
And I already gave you my heart

I don't want mine back
It's yours to keep
Maybe we could trade though
And then once again I could sleep

Knowing full well
I kept your heart in my chest
I could lay my head down next to yours
And finally rest
I am myself Apr 2014
Do you really think
The scars that mar
Your once perfect skin
Are beautiful?

The bruises on your flesh
They must hurt
Why cause them?
They are not the answer

Would you approve of
A friend of yours behaving
In a manner such as this
Drawing blood and mutilating themselves

It hurts to see you
Your pain is visible
Let me help
Oh wait...

I am you
I can't help myself
Can't get rid of
The pain of depression

Save me
Help me
No... I don't matter
Let me help instead
I am myself Apr 2014
I can scarce breathe
Tears clog my throat
There must be something
Crushing my lungs
Keeping me from freedom
I'm dying
I cannot
I will not
Grovel
I am in pain
There is this
Ripping
Tearing
Brutal crushing
Going on
Inside of me
Who I am
Has been lost
It has been crushed
Broken and scarred
How am I alive
I am myself Apr 2014
I am starting to think
That maybe
Just maybe
I have room for someone else

I didn't think
That it was possible
But you are starting
To change my mind
I am myself Apr 2014
Let
Me
In

I
Would
Never
Hurt
You

You're
So
Scared

Not
Everyone
Will
Break
You

You're
My
Reason

I
Will
Always
Protect
You

Never
Do
You
Any
Harm

I
Care
For
My
Own

You
Are
My
Heart
Okay?
