Turn Around

I’m hating myself for the person I’ve become 
I’m different to all And not just some 
I swear a chimp would succeed more than me 
isolation my best friend I believe
Intelligence is there but I live like I’m dumb 
progression always stalls 
I guess I’m a chump
I left it to fate when I went for suicide 
it was chance pure chance 
I really should’ve died 
there’s no reason at all 
that I would be found 
I thought I’d be placed 
6 foot underground
So I live with this hate that I have for myself 
I will never have a family with this mental health
I must have been Hitler in my last life
Cus nothing good occurs just misery and strife 
Left-handed right handed ADHD 
depression self loathing and anxiety, 
I’m sick to death of how I be it keeps me inside 
every day I say I’ll fight then I just hide, 
I haven’t got a drive 
I haven’t got pride 
How can I fight 
with desire to die 
how can you make life 
when you ain’t really alive 
then I ask, 
If I feel like this I should be proud I survive
Trying to finish me off but can’t stop my stride,
And if I ever meet depression in the physical form
I will inflict more damage than a biblical storm,
I think the anger hands me an angle
but unsighted what good is a candle 
senses blind and the brain sits tangled
but the body fresh able not mank or mangled, 
in a fight I fight if I can coordinate 
if you move and think you can harness strength 
Sighted unsighted you ain’t damned or too late
If you can move and think you must operate
change your world if it’s bringing you down 
climb up it laugh and clown around 
Cus everybody is destined for the ground 
when everyone stays no thoughts sight or sound
so taste the air the nectar and flair 
allow the dreams that are not there 
smell the roses get caught on the nettles 
And if life is bad refuse to settle
I’m not thinking of the person I’ve become
but what I can build what can be done 
I miss the people the scenes and sun 
why am I sitting when the option is run 
why am I thinking of what is and has been
wiped the hate and mean clear so the knocker is clean 
set out and enjoy the dreams achievable 
always be positive because the air is breathable 
Reach for the impossible however unbelievable 
I stand unbeaten and therefore unbeatable
