Unshackle My Verse

Peom also known as: self hatred They tell me I am beautiful Commenting on how my dyed hair Brings out my eyes When all i see is the same face That I have come to despise. Mirrors never lie As I look at my reflection And watching these tears roll down my face I cant help but hate myself Always a disgrace. Its a KNIFE, so POINTED, That's always CUTTING me FROM the INSIDE Making it IMPOSSIBLE To feel comfortable Inside my own MIND Now slowly but steadily My reality is ceasing to exist Leaving me like a memory And no way to recapture it. Its a race that I'm always RUNNING, And RUNNING, Trying to leave all my demons behind But HOW can I outrun the BEAST That destroying my MIND I don't know how to continue It was useless to try from the start. When its my OWN SKIN, OWN BLOOD, OWN LIFE, That I want to Tare apart Its a never ending war Raging inside my head There every waking second Then following me to bed I don't know where to turn Or how to get up Off my knees Society say have confidence Before promoting images of girls I can never be. I'm at a point inside Deep in my drowning heart, Where I wake up every morning To only want to cut myself apart And when i look into my reflection I cant help but ask WHY I Still Breathe When the only thing in this whole world That I can say I HATE Is me. 04.01.17

It is a hard thing, Beck. Sometimes, the passage of time is what matters.
