I can’t stop Another day I starve myself I can’t stop Another day I abuse my body I can’t stop Another day I tear pieces of my flesh away with nails and teeth I can’t stop Another day I lose myself to my voices I can’t stop Another day I won’t let myself rest I can’t stop Another day I inhale toxic gases I can’t stop Another day I write a poem because no one would listen I can’t stop Another day I cry and break down, all alone I can’t stop Another day I can’t bear my own reflection I can’t stop Another day I realise that I’m all Daddy has I can’t stop Another day I think about his death I can’t stop Another day I claim to be fine I can’t stop Another day I sacrifice my being for someone who’s not me I can’t stop Another day I scold me for my imperfections I can’t stop Another day I give myself the things I deserve I can’t stop Another day I feel drawn to a knife’s sharp edge I can’t stop Another day I think of falling off a cliff I can’t stop Another day I think of the inevitable I can’t stop Another day I collapse due to physical and mental exhaustion I can’t stop Another day I overwork myself because of expectations I can’t stop Another day I wake up to find I’m still alive I can’t stop Another day I believe my delusions I can’t stop Another day my train of taught halts I can’t stop Another day I think of how disappointing I am I can’t stop Another day I feel out-of-place I can’t stop Another day I wish I wasn’t born I can’t stop Another day I try to put you out your misery I can’t stop Another day I scare myself I can’t stop Another day I use my fists and a wall to inflict damage to my skull I can’t stop Another day I enjoy peace in my concussion I can’t stop Another day I have an existential crisis I can’t stop Another day I wait for my healing I can’t stop Another day I wish my heart wasn’t beating I can’t stop Because it never stops

I Can't Stop Part 1
I can’t stop Another day I starve myself I can’t stop Another day I abuse my body I can’t stop Another day I tear pieces of my flesh away with nails and teeth I can’t stop Another day I lose myself to my voices I can’t stop Another day I won’t let myself rest I can’t stop Another day I inhale toxic gases I can’t stop Another day I write a poem because no one would listen I can’t stop Another day I cry and break down, all alone I can’t stop Another day I can’t bear my own reflection I can’t stop Another day I realise that I’m all Daddy has I can’t stop Another day I think about his death I can’t stop Another day I claim to be fine I can’t stop Another day I sacrifice my being for someone who’s not me I can’t stop Another day I scold me for my imperfections I can’t stop Another day I give myself the things I deserve I can’t stop Another day I feel drawn to a knife’s sharp edge I can’t stop Another day I think of falling off a cliff I can’t stop Another day I think of the inevitable I can’t stop Another day I collapse due to physical and mental exhaustion I can’t stop Another day I overwork myself because of expectations I can’t stop Another day I wake up to find I’m still alive I can’t stop Another day I believe my delusions I can’t stop Another day my train of taught halts I can’t stop Another day I think of how disappointing I am I can’t stop Another day I feel out-of-place I can’t stop Another day I wish I wasn’t born I can’t stop Another day I try to put you out your misery I can’t stop Another day I scare myself I can’t stop Another day I use my fists and a wall to inflict damage to my skull I can’t stop Another day I enjoy peace in my concussion I can’t stop Another day I have an existential crisis I can’t stop Another day I wait for my healing I can’t stop Another day I wish my heart wasn’t beating I can’t stop Because it never stops
