Let me go

Where do we go from here?

What can you do with a corpse that is barely living?

How do you tell someone to abandon you,

simply because you aren’t worth it?

I am not worth the tears and the heartache,

the frustration and the anger.

Don’t try to convince yourself that I’m worth saving

because I’m not. Not after all the suffering

I’ve already caused you, both by my own hands

and through a domino effect pushed by my actions.

.

My outburst of empowerment and self-love balance

on the fact that to me it’s not serious. I say that

“No one can hurt me with words when I’ve already

told the worst of them to myself.” Teetering on the edge,

all it takes is one motion. It's nothing new

to the insanity that festers in my mind, everything

stemming from self-loathing… I hate myself

But I don’t understand why you don’t.

.

Desperately, I hope that you’ll see it too.

Just cast me aside and be rid of this parasite.

Maybe then I can say that I’ve done something good.
