Change Myself
Take a long look at me,
I’m not who I used to be inside,
I’ve been changed by the world around me.
Erase me from your heart,
But don’t forgive me for all the damage I caused.
I feel better off alone,
I’ve started believing,
I can’t go on like this.
And you ask what happened to my strength?
But now I’m begging for mercy to not answer that question.
You say you used to think I was invincible,
But that was all a lie,
I’m just as frightened inside as I have ever been.
I feel like a page torn from a book,
Gliding through the wind weightlessly,
But only to be sucked down into water,
And just as paper would fold up when dropped into water,
I feel like I am drowning myself slowly.
If only it was easy to leave myself behind,
And change myself,
But how long can you wait for that?
I don’t want to see you alone,
So leave me in this hole,
Because that’s the only spot a monster like me belongs.
