Dont Kid Yourself Sarah
Help me I beg to you
As I strangle in this endless night
Where I suffer from this curse
Where are the lands in which I swim for comfort
Let me sail away
You will never you entrap me
Make me a stranger in my own home
I want you out
I gnaw at my chains slowly each day
Gaining more and more life of my own
And *****
Even people at work notice that I have been dying
Take your things to the curb
I promise you one day
I will smile down upon you from my window as you turn the keys in your car
And leave me forever
You are no light of mine
And when I build my self once again you will no longer be welcome
I hate that you hit me
And control every aspect of my life
I have hated it for the past seven years and every month I have said this
To myself
Yet every month I remain here
I finally stand to tell you this but you shut me down yet again
Maybe one day I will be able to fully stand
I think
But you are angry at me
So maybe
Maybe in the next life time
When I rebuild what you’ve broken
And the last thing you say to me before I leave this world
Is what you’ve always said
“Don’t kid yourself Sarah”
And you are right I have been long destroyed there is
No rebuilding for me
If I am lucky there is no next lifetime
