Never shall I forget the day in which my whole life changed The day I was introduced to my closest "friend" Her name is Grief She follows me everywhere She's been there for me since my father took his life Grief likes to bring her friend along sometimes His name is Guilt The two are always there for me, reminding me of my uselessness "you're the reason he's gone" they chant behind me Every day My only break from them is when I sleep But even then, Insomnia creeps into my room and talks to me all night Reminding me of how much I let Guilt and Grief in But Insomnia is the one to show me how to deal with them "Cut them away, they will leave your body in the color of red and escape by trickling down your legs" So, I listened And slowly, things got "better" Then worse Every night I had my "freeing session" but they just kept coming back So I gave up I let them stay, and gave up My three friends still taunt me, but maybe I deserve it
