Giving Up


I can’t do this

There's too much to miss

I don’t want to be here

If I close my eyes, will it all be clear?

If I give in and actually quit,

Will it all be worth it?

Does anyone hear me?
I’m going insane

I’m losing control

It’s taking over my body

I can’t stop it

Or do I just want to feel it?

Feel the pain

Just let it all reign

I’m not ready to go

But there’s one thing I know,

I have lost total control
