Pick Me Up
I'm tired
Please take these weights
Throw them off a cliff
Without any debates
I'm stuck here
Please cut my chains
Undo the nails
That pierce my brain
I can't walk
They broke my legs
Carry me
This I beg
I can't see
For a shadow covers my eyes
A violent demon
It feeds me lies
Say my name
For they made me forget
A punishment for my life
That I now regret
Heal my wounds
From the hundreds of lashings
Similar to glass
My sanity is crashing
Silence the voices
That poison my mind
Give me clarity
Something I can no longer find
Tell me you love me
No matter what
Take on my demons
And pick me up
For I am broken
From these years past
It only takes one person
To make memories last

a self expression
an expression felt natural.
s7 last line
"something i can no longer find' feels bit longer for the rest of the expression, hence affecting the flow a bit.

Thanks for the feedback. That line though is meant to be read just a tad bit quicker than the rest. Thanks :)
