I’m scared of getting better I’m scared of leaving I’m scared of losing Losing what I thought was right If I’m not ****** up What am I I am not myself anymore I am so much my illness That I am not me This illness eats at me Eats for me Until I am gone And it’s all that’s left I don’t want you to see that I don’t want that I want to leave Don’t watch me die Instead Leave me alone Let my skin scream Until both me And my illness Are gone Until that day Stay away I can’t let you know That I love you Because I’m leaving And I can’t leave you So please Just look away And leave me to it

Fear
I’m scared of getting better I’m scared of leaving I’m scared of losing Losing what I thought was right If I’m not ****** up What am I I am not myself anymore I am so much my illness That I am not me This illness eats at me Eats for me Until I am gone And it’s all that’s left I don’t want you to see that I don’t want that I want to leave Don’t watch me die Instead Leave me alone Let my skin scream Until both me And my illness Are gone Until that day Stay away I can’t let you know That I love you Because I’m leaving And I can’t leave you So please Just look away And leave me to it
I don’t want recovery Not because I don’t want happiness I just don’t want to be left behind Because me is more my illness
