Every time I wanted to Dream

I should not dream just for me
They said.

Every time I wanted to fly

I should just walk
They said.

Every time I wished for love

I am loved enough
They said.

Every time I wished for air

I should just breath
They said.

Every year I waited for the one

I would find none
They said.

So when the wrong ones came

I couldn't know and it did hurt as
They said.

I was being a coward hiding under covers

I am just being good
They said.

I hid my soul from each greedy eye

It will save me from hurt
They said.

Still I got hurt, thrown & crushed

I will have to live
They said.

When I craved for one hand to hold

I have plenty already
They said.

I was alone drowning low and low

I am just being stubborn
They said.

I wanted to talk about my pain

I am self centered
They said.

I pushed myself up for a gulp of air

I was not worth it
They said.

I tried to stand up after falling

I deserved to stay on ground
They said.

I loved them all and lived for them

Loved me back
They said.

I bore marks and cuts all over me

It was just their love
They said.

I cried and pleaded couldn't take no more

I was made to suffer
They said.

When I licked n tended to my wounds

I was ignoring them
They said.

When I said I can't live anymore

I was cared and thought of
They said.

And here I stand on the edge of a cliff

I don't have it in me to know what
They said.

Please don't make me go

Stop me from this last fall
I said.

I died a little every single day

When i did as I was told
I said.

I brushed my teeth and went bed early

Only to cry myself to sleep
I said.

No don't come near me now don't wipe my tears

My soul is devoid of compassion
I said.

Don't feel bad don't try to help

I am a lost cause
I said.

Look at me and see what have I become

Your love made me this way
I said.

Don't blame me for my downfall

I did as I was told
I said.

You think you can save me from this mess?

Think about it again 'cause I am the mess
I said.

Here I am, fighting darkness alone
They thinking I am a lazy mutt.
How can they be so blind?
That lazy don't hurt themselves and they just don't cut.

Save me! Help me!
Not from anyone else
But save me... Help me...
From ME.
I said, but no one heard.
