Sinking slowly into a bath of pain
I want to scream but I refrain
Slipping silently as I’m nearing insanity
Losing my brain, my mind, my vanity.

I itch to cut off my ears and claw out my eyes,
I can’t find any closure behind all these lies.
Panicked and frightened, I pray for my piety,
Oh God, my lord, I can’t withstand this anxiety.

Ostentatious, I create a diversion,
I muster a smile and travel along my excursion.
Though they've asked and tried, I always refute.
There’s only one last thing before I execute.

I drew up a world with love so genuine and real,
I brought everything together, all ready to congeal.
Then I ******* my rope, and kicked away my chair,
and that world is all I thought of, for as long as I hung there.
