Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

Commanding me to believe that I am worthless

These lows welcome me with open arms to a whole new rock bottom 

Drowning me in a endless ocean of negativity and despair

I carry on my daily tasks souless...

Just another empty shell living in a self created Hell

These black flames of self doubt and insecurity burn my beauty away

Submerged in this delicious pain has become a new way of life

I am helpless swallowing each flame out of habit

Where they will flourish inside me like the unwanted baby of an addict

There are no heroes in this story, only I can save me

Can I? Will I? Maybe....

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
