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.
