Never believe yourself, when
Others tell you otherwise.
Ordinarily, i would not feel the
Need to share this thought, but
Everytime i try to rise against it, i fall.

Losing every time,
Ending every day in defeat
Always seems to desrtoy my soul, and i
Veer from my thoughts of sanity.
Even winning small battles is a war lost
So, soon i decide to just give up.

Wondering if it will ever return to prosperity
I cant stand to bide my time.
Tell me i'm sane, i'll call you a liar.
Help me, or try, and you will just be brought down with me.
Only those who are smart to stay away
Understand my own lamenting hell
To stay is to raise your hands in defeat.

Saving anything is beyond hope
Catching the last train back to life is a mirage.
Anything like a shooting star or 11:11
Reminds you to look at yourself, to
See no one leaves without scars.
