Lost and Given Up
I've finally lost
my self-control.
No longer hiding
All of my anger.
Or all of my emotions.
Given up on everything .
No longer going to
Fake my happiness.
No longer going to
Act like I'm fine.
Nowhere else for
My demons to hide.
After everything, my
True self has died.
So many scars mark
My heart, body, and mind.
Given up on being loved.
Even on my happiness.
Can no longer find the
Strength to smile.
But I'll keep on acting,
Pretending that I am fine.
That I'm okay. For I
Have a reputation
To keep and save.
To keep them from
Finding out that I'm gone.
Tat I've finally gone insane.
My demons have gained
Control. And my
True self has disappeared.
No more fights.
No more fear. For I am finally
forever, TRULY, free.
