My blood trickles from my pale arms Invisible to all Seen only by me I hate how you feel the need to protect me Wrap your arms tightly around my waist as to not ever let go Sheltering me from the heat and the cold The rain and the dry winter months There's never any comfort in depression Never any joy in feeling alone Yet I've had my time to dwindle upon thoughts Such as those Where I could not handle the tears or regret I'm over it Now it's time to get back onto my feet And breathe a single breath of fresh air Swallow it as though I were drinking it Living on it as thought it were feeding me life Let me swallow my pain if I want to I've gotten used to the lies and self mutilation Allow me space to experiment and live my life I dont care how much I fall anymore I've fallen all my life Now I'm stuck on rock bottom Looking up at the rest of the world I just have to deal And I realise that.Birth sign: Scorpio
