Losing Myself
I'm losing myself
there is no place to go
my life is currently runway show
So hectic so full of b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t
I want out. But i'm trapped
I look at myself in the mirror
The girl is barely recognizable
She's looks back at me
The expression on her face so pained
I have to take a double take
Is this really me?
I push everything aside so I can live this life
Still exsist in this fight
But I am floating away
Slowly decomposing
Though blood still runs through these veins
I need a new iv everyday just to function
I feel like a socket in the wall so appealing
Yet no electricity flowing
I think in the mists of it all I forgot my true purpose
I need to take two steps back to the life I used to have
It only took a little bit than but a large chunk now
to satisfy me and I wonder why
I use to be such a simple girl
dellusions overwhelmed me
They made me think I needed to change to be happy
Change is good I can't imagine where i'd be without it
If I didn't make these changes
Where would I be?
The answer shocks my system
3 feet below my former self lies
I sure have compromised to survive
