To Be Honest

To Be Honest
By Laura
November 13, 2015

Just rip me open
Tear me apart
Tell me again how you knew from the start

Make me a martyr
Tell me I'm strong
Just make me feel like I've done nothing wrong

Just pull me out of my head
Cause I really hate myself
Sometimes I wish I was dead
But instead I hurt myself 

Give me example
Show me the way
Show me the things I dont know how to say

Call me a liar
Call me a thief
Wish you could see I just need some relief

Every day I stare into the deep end
Knowing I'm no longer well
I'm both an angel and a deamon
I live in heaven and in hell

Everyone ought to appreciate the good and bad in them. I like the way you employ self-immolating hyperbole as you unmask your flip side~7.
