finally
weakness.
the energy expelled
fatigue in my heart
exhaustion in my mind
lethargy in my body
now to enjoy the aftermath
something old stirs
memories... desires
just sleep
you’re done fighting for now
you’ve done enough
it’s time to rest
time to rebuild
enjoy the feeling
of defenses broken down
just like you wanted
to allow yourself to be weak

C’mon
Why do I have to suffer
Why don’t I get a vice
Why don’t I get to stumble
Why won’t you let me fall
Why can’t I show weakness
Why can’t I indulge
Why can’t I break a rule or two
Why can’t I get into some trouble
Why can’t I be bad
Just let me do something bad
Let me break the rules
Just do something for fun
Something that feels good
Because right now everything hurts
And it would seem everyone else
They all get to be weak for a bit
Everyone else can stumble
Oh, but not me
No, not the perfect one
She wouldn’t do that
No, never
She doesn’t have desires
She doesn’t lust
She doesn’t crave escape
She doesn’t want to have fun
She doesn’t want to be happy
BECAUSE YOU
YOU TAUGHT ME
TO FOLLOW RULES
But now I’m suffocating
The weight on my back is heavy
I’m getting weak
But that can’t happen
No, she’s perfect
She doesn’t get weak
She always does right
She’s always virtuous
She never would do that

Haha
But you know what?
I’m ******* human, dear ones
I need people around me
I cannot survive alone
I’d like to have ***
Yeah, I’ve done it alone
I would love to get high
Yes, I would actually like a drink
In fact, I’d like to be very drunk
I connect with that dark music
The kind that screams about torment
I’ve sliced my own skin
I’ve thought about dying
Yeah... at my own hand

Right... but I can’t, can I?
Can’t indulge, can’t go dark
Because you’ve trained me
You’ve programmed me
There is always a fear response
You are responsible
You are why I’m like this
You are why I don’t have friends
You are why I’m not like them
You are why I can’t enjoy anything

I’m so ******* done with this
Being “strong”
Whatever the hell that means
I just wanna be normal
I’m done.
I’m so ******* done.

I’m not perfect
Stop making me out to be
You just make me want
To watch myself
Fall from grace
watch me fall

What an old insecurity
Hardly ever lived without it
Except... except that year...
The year lost... starving, dying
And now once again
You face yourself
Clearly you didn’t try hard enough
You better work harder
You better not eat so much

Ugh

How disgusting you are
You’re not pretty
You just fool yourself
Lie to yourself
You’re not beautiful
How pitiful this still bothers you
What a weak little girl you are
How repulsive you are
You’ll never be lovely
You’re not graceful
You’re not slim
You’re not even cute
I wouldn’t want you
No wonder no one else does
Lol
Of course
How obvious!
You let yourself believe that maybe
You were desirable

You lied.

Your ugliness is clear
They’re just being nice
You know how awful you look
You know how dreadful you are

I-I think I’d like
To just melt away...
To disintegrate
Empire Sep 2019
I just want to escape
I want life to be better
I want to be loved
I’ve never been loved...

I’m dying
My light is flickering out
Faith wavering
I’m unsteady

And YOU all...
So caught up in yourselves
You’re blind to my suffering
I’M IN TREMENDOUS PAIN
You’ve all forgotten
But it never ended for me

My heart is weary
My head burdened
The only way to tell you
Is to make my body reflect
All the scars in my mind

You’ll see me fall
Notice just too late
To save that poor girl’s soul
Empire Sep 2019
The night is coming for me
Her dark delirium
Take me from this
I don’t want it
It’ll be easier in the morning
It will
It will
It has to be...
It’s surrounding me now
Engulfing me
Drawing thick fog through my mind
Losing control
Letting go...
Please take me.
You don’t even have to bring me back.

Dizzy with pleasure
‘Cause you needed something good
Calm and tired finally
Not happy but at least pleased
Maybe it’s okay
Well... we can pretend
Feel your heart pound
And gently drop back down
Take your time
You can try again
Anything... just a taste is worth it
A flash of bliss...
I should feel guilty
But in my defense
I don’t feel much anymore
