I weep for me

I loathe what I have become
Things I tacitly permissed
Weigh me down with water
Shameful of my tears

That I am thin of heart and humour
Quick to temper now
Hard and dark, where once 
Was soft and light

It is me whose hands are bloodied
I held the dagger and carved
Into myself for attention
Now I weep for me
