Me, Myself and I
Anthony Darklage Nov 2019
I am mystified
By the colour of your hair
and the fragments of my mind
They tell me I am blind
That I must forget the one
I keep seeming to remind

I will start to cry
Cause I still smell the perfume left
From when you spent the night
They tell me I should go
I have told only lies
and I’ve got nothing to show

Somethings breaking out
Or am I caving in?
The scalpel in my hand  
reveals my deepest sins
No matter where I go
He’ll always be at my side
Won’t say goodbye
In this war with me, myself and I

I think I’ve lost the plot
The story’s long since told
And the actors all seem off
They tell me it’s no use
That I can’t keep doing this
reckless mental self-abuse

I am here to rot
When I am in my grave
there will be one more in the cot
They tell me it’s a shame
That all those ruined lives
That I’m the one to blame

Something’s getting out
And it won’t go back home
The smile across my face
Is a smile that’s not my own
No matter where I go
I cannot cease to cry
Just tell a lie
I am fine with me, myself and I
Self reflection is needed to improve. Everyone makes mistakes, but we must learn from them and move on
