I try not to let you strangle me I try not to let you drown me I try not to let you burn me I try not to let you hurt me Completely blind, absolutely deaf To my own advice, my own truth Afraid of my very own mind Of the thoughts that posses every part You crawl, you climb And you stay, you linger Control slips, its now out of reach So you grab the chance and take over I’m alive, but hardly breathing You choke, not **** You laugh, as you flood You whisper: “I’ve done it again” You win. You’ve triumphed. I fail. I’ve fallen.

Daily Battle
I try not to let you strangle me I try not to let you drown me I try not to let you burn me I try not to let you hurt me Completely blind, absolutely deaf To my own advice, my own truth Afraid of my very own mind Of the thoughts that posses every part You crawl, you climb And you stay, you linger Control slips, its now out of reach So you grab the chance and take over I’m alive, but hardly breathing You choke, not **** You laugh, as you flood You whisper: “I’ve done it again” You win. You’ve triumphed. I fail. I’ve fallen.
