Everyday is the same
Everyday is a nightmare
Everyday is worse than the last
Everyday i have to talk myself down
Down from the ledge
The high up ledge
because of expectations
because i built myself up
because it’s perpetuating
Everyday the temptation grows stronger
Temptation to dive head first
dive into the shallow ground bellow
to try to fit in once more
but my brain has already left
My brain is still on that ledge
My brain looks down at my body
it wants to meet with those expectations
those standards i have made for myself
but i dont have the motivation
i have given up
actually, it was long ago
long ago i gave up
my heart gave up
i stopped caring
stopped trying
but somehow my brain had hope
it hoped i would get better
it believed in the lies
the lies that made it appear okay
it had faith,
but my heart had given up
Everyday it’s the same
Everyday i give up a little more
Everyday my brain walks closer to the ledge
