What does one do
When they hate who they are
With every second that passes
I loath myself more and more
It’s frustrating as fuck
I’m dead inside
Mindlessly going through the motions
The feeling inside of me has turned into actual pain
I’m going mad
I thought I could handle it
At first I ignored it
Now I just ache
What kind of sick fucking cycle have I stumbled into
I have a noose in my closet
But when I look at it all I can think of is the people I would hurt
The only time I’m happy is when I’m with friends
Yet all the while I feel guilty
I don’t deserve friends like them
Fuck they’re awesome
I fail at everything I touch
The only thing I was ever good at I gave up
For no good reason
Fuck everything
Why can’t I succeed at least once
When will it be my turn
I used to be happy just existing
I used to have fun
Now I just sit and wait for sleep
Why the fuck should I have to wear a fake smile
Pretend to laugh
Shit doesn’t even taste the same anymore
I awoke to find myself cut up today
I just laughed
My first real laugh in months
I have no idea why
Every time I try to talk with someone I feel like a burden
How much pain can one pack into one torso
Before it spills out onto the floor
Like warm sticky blood
I don’t even have a nice shirt to be buried in
Why the fuck couldn’t I have bought at least one nice shirt
I feel as if I’m going to explode here
All I want is to have one good day where I can feel good
Genuinely good
And if it’s not to much trouble
One nice shirt to die in.

A pint of beer barely takes the edge off. You’re not a burden-happy to chat if you feel. my email is on the site
Go back and make that rhyme. Then write another, and another. Write a song or two. Do it again tommorow. And the next day. You may feel better. You may be a writer, and don’t know it.
