Fate and Choices
I need to kill myself to be rid of the blame
But I am too damn afraid of all of the pain
I am tired of being the last one loved
When trying as hard as I can is not enough
I am tired of being bored of my life even when I have lots to do
Being told I am worthless but I always loved you
Not feeling pretty when I look at the magazines of women
Feeling like I am losing it even though it appears that I am winning
Why can't someone see through this shit that I am pretending?
Never quite reaching the goal or happy ending
There are only so many tears I can cry from my ungrateful eyes
Before I curl up into a ball and shed my disguise
My nails claw at my skin trying to rip it away
Trying to change my life formed day by day
Sinking slowly into the night because it's my only place to hide
The only place I can let out what is truly inside
The pain feels acidic and I feel myself drowning
People mock me whenever they see that I am frowning
"Be grateful," they say, "You have the ability to choose."
But it is like I am choosing to break a bone, scar, or bruise
None of my choices make me happy but I feel there is no other way
The future is all I have and it is starting to fade
Help me- I don't know what else I can do
Save me from the fate the world is making me choose
