Claws of Inaptitude Stained with Depression
Here we go
We know the lines
Say them with me
-I'm fine
-I'm fine, just a bit tired
-I just don't feel well
-I'm just not myself lately
-Sorry, not doing so great
-I know, I can't help it
-Just leave me alone
-I'm too much
-I'm sorry
-I'm sorry
-I'm sorry
Most days my symptoms burn inside me
I feel like riping open my veins
Taking those bloody strands
and hanging myself with perfection
Everytime my anxiety heightens, rises
As shadows lengthen as the sun leaves us
My veins tighten and constrict inside me
Snakes are drowning in my blood stream
Swimming up my neck and choking me
How can I escape this feeling inside me
My brain is downing in stress and self hatred
Everyone is sick of me, but no one says it
They don't, they can't see the snakes
They haven't had to live with the nightmares
The memories that rise like the dead
I want to nose dive off a building
And know it will be over inside me
I can't survive this war, not anymore
I've been trying so hard, for so long
When will it end? When I'm dead, duh
That's just how some mental health stories go
