No Longer Be

My
stomach
churns
with
acid
that my system
made
to
respond to
the anxiety
of my system
I
dont know
how it
ended
up this way
but last night
i could not sleep
a wink
because
restless
thoughts of self hatred
crossed my thoughts
stabbing my brain
I 
don't understand
it at all
how everythings
become
such
a mess
but
the sadness
makes
me
sick
in my guts
Do
you
want
to to change myself,
I
thought
you accepted me
but
how can you
when you ask this of me
I thought you loved me
but instead
your 
never
there
to comfort me
after the
pain
youve reeped
and sown
take me as i am
i
scream
so loud
in
the showers
hoping
the water
to block out the sound
but
You
must hear me
now
as the water
pours down on me
washing
away
my hurt
but my vision
is so blurry
from
the tears
and
you cannot see
this
because
you are never around

You better love
me
for
me
or my love we will no longer be.
