Infinite Failure


Why are you so blunt? 

Can't you sugar coat it for me, because the truth taste like old cheese. 

See you and your originality is killing me. 

Making my nightmares a reality. Everything I said I wasn't gone be. 

You’re making a fool of me. 

Can't you just doctor it up to make it sound pleasing? 

So I don't curse myself and pretend it's just teasing. 

Stop making me cringe. I am not at ease. 

Give me back my comfortability! 

Why are you doing this to me? Haven't you heard that the truth hurts and takes away every piece of dignity? 

Why are you doing this to me? Haven't you heard that it is better not to change then to be somebody?

I rather be here in my false stability.
