Hell of My Own Design

It’s true what they say

You fit me better

Than my favorite sweater

 

That’s why I’m not happy to say

What I have to say

But I have to

Say

 

So crack open a beer, sit with

Me my dear

And just

Listen

To what I must say

 

I’m sick

But this isn’t

Nicholas Sparks

****

 

I’m sick in my brain

And down through my

Spine

I’m living in a hell of my own design

 

The monsters I face

Are just in my head

Though sometimes

I feel I’m

Better off dead

 

So when you see

That I’ve disappeared

In the night

Please

Don’t worry

Or

Put up a fight

 

Just know ill be back

As soon as I can

When I know

All of me

Can return to you

Again
