Permanent Solution

I've turned into all the things I've hated
Given up against the things that deserved to be debated
Lost trust and hope
With your hand tightening around the rope
I fall short of any relation
Digging deep for any sensation

This thing I see in the mirror
Gives me no love just fear. 
Wondering if this thing will ever mutate
into something I can learn to love and not hate.
I've dug deep only to become more unaware
of the things in life that remain so unfair. 

I listen for any call of arm
Before giving into harm
Too depressed to continue
when life proves to be more than a temporary issue
I can no longer stand strong
in a place where I don't belong
