Depression

Perfection doesn't exist I try so hard to be what u want I kill myself for you pills and vodka keep me leveled no 
one knows the truth tears fall blood stains my sleeves why am I not good enough my bottled emotions I 
swallow kill me please end this pain this life is a prison I'm already dead a ghost who haunts this world I'm 
nothing and I waste the air that others deserve to breathe and for that I'm sorry.

Depression, a real life mental disease that traps so many making them believe they are worthless. You say it well. http://anthonynutter.weebly.com/
