I'M Going Insane
Some may say it's a phase
Of teenage years,
But I say I'm losing my sanity
and grip on life.
Staying up late at night
Past my parent's bed time
To consume alcohol
To erase all this pain.
Driving objects
Into my flesh
To have comforting relief...
Wanting to die
Every night
So tomorrow will not shine
On my pale skin.
Thinking...
A hospital,
My isolation
or maybe suicide.
Don't worry mom,
I'm nothing like you said...
I'll be gone soon.
