Once I Leave.

Don't make me a martyr
Or a victim of my situation
Don't make me a poet
Or a painter of words
Don't make me a sob story
Or a bird that never enjoyed his wings
Just tell it how it is
And how it was.

I just got lost in the pages
I let the things in me
The things kept in cages
Take control and then I went.

tunnel vision
imperfect decision
misty eyes
nauseating lies
cigarette ashes
tranquil fracas

**** getting anything off my chest
This pressure to be anything
Is enough compression
**** trying to be like the rest
This normalization
Is enough suppression

I'll never be everything you expect
I'll always be anxious
I'll always have bouts of depression
I'll always feel that I'm not enough
I'll always want to give up
I'll always want the easy way out
I'll never get this off my chest

One plus one is two
Unless it's me and you
You make me feel like half
Of all that I am

This pen has bled as much as I
We both continue to pour out
Everything we've got

This paper has soaked as much as I
We both continue to take on
As much as we can

Till we are empty
Till we rip apart
Till it's the last time

"Find what you love
And let it **** you"

I had found what I loved
And yet it refuses to show me mercy

Cry into the bedsheets
Tell me that you love me

Fall apart in my eyes
Tell me that we we won't capsize

Disappear into my soul
Tell me I make you whole
