Anti-hero

by products-of-insomnia

I know it's going to be okay But please, please, please let me be upset and angry Please do not tell me to calm down and put out the  fire inside of me I will not stop, drop and roll because I want to get burned Let me rage For once let me scream at the world and blame it for everything Let me vindicate myself this time because I'm tired of thinking that it's all my fault I want to be on the winning side. I want to be on my side Let me be selfish and careless because I haven't done that in years Let me yell and throw things Let me explode Because if I delay this explosion, there will be more casualties Allow me to get hit by the shell fragments of my own anger Let me get buried under the debris of my failures and regrets Do not call the firemen Don't put out my fire Let me become ash and let me rise from it Let me self-destruct so I can rebuild myself I don't want to be rescued   Do not save me Please do not save me
