Dont forget to forgive yourself
Even when youre lying there,
Broken and defeated
Forgive yourself.
Focus on making it through today, and not the terrors of tomorrow.
Theres only so much pain
That you can feel
Before you run out
And the numbness creeps in.
And while your shaking,
Unable to feel,
Staring at the wall,
Forgive yourself.
When the thoughts
Burn into your skull
And you wish
You were drunk so that
Maybe
MAYBE
You could forget,
Just try to forgive yourself.

And Ill try to forgive myself too.
