My Struggle

Destroying myself from the inside, out
Nervously wondering what my life is about
Looking for meaning that always seems right there
Gone with bad choices that make life unfair

Hopeful uncertainty keeps driving my will
Everytime I pick up my emotionless kill
A want that is consumed by a need to control
My reasons for not wanting to give up my soul

Lost, but not gone, I barely function enough
To keep all the hate from tearing a part the love
Through many memories taken for what they are
A thread I hold onto enough to not go too far
