Mind Verses Body
Surviving in a mind that wants to die
But my body urges to stay alive.
My parents hope I strive
But all i want to do is die.
I beg for people to stick around
Even though they bring me down.
Just put me in a gown
Dig my grave
I don’t want to be saved.
I’m not tamed
I’m insane
Don’t try to make me sane.
All you’re doing is putting me in pain.
Let me go
Let me grow
Away from here
Nowhere near.
