Blood Drain
What I want to be is content
Satisfied
Pleased with my life
Looking at myself
I've lost self love
I've lost self assurance
I've lost self actualization
I've lost me
In this deadly process
I've been searching
Like forensics teams on missing person's
For a purpose
I'm starting to lose focus
Envy starts arising
Plentiful opportunities to hurt
Yet the only blood that drops
Is from my own skin
Losing
It's evident
That i'm draining
Not understanding the path
That has been chosen
I can't find joy in the best things
I simply poke needles until they inflate
That's just my state
Love is in the air
I'm starting to feel a lil *****
Cause nobody is ever there
Everybody else gets their someone
Alone. I lose more blood.
My heart beat stops
I'm draining away
