Give Me a Reason

.

By CotardDelusionzPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

I've been tryna keep my peace

But lowkey

I want a reason

To stop controlling

Cause I can feel it boiling

It takes a lot of strength

To keep it contained

I can never stop these thoughts

I can't believe in what I think

I just have to pretend they aren't affecting me

But I can't help but feel it

My body wants to bleed

I'm trapped in a straight jacket

Getting claustrophobic

Fighting against the fabric

I wonder how long I can keep pretending

I'm addicted to my own sickness

Going through it's withdraws

Give me a reason

So I can stop resisting

And shoot it into my veins

Oh it's so relieving

Giving in

Because even when

There's nothing

I still feel like this
