Victimhood

Bleed for me

Feel my wounds

Endure my pain

That all consumes

Feel guilty for crimes

You didn't commit

The past never dies

When you sit with it

I'd slice my wrists open

But you'd be dissatisfied

To see that we’re the same

It all turns red on the outside

You'd say I'm not suffering enough

That I don't understand

Your wound is deeper

You're scarred like the land

Yet, you stay

Despite all you've survived

The ones who have harmed you

Move on with their lives

You've chosen to stay wounded

By refusing to heal

You hold on to the pain

Speaking it is too real

You let your darkness swallow you

Because you think you're too weak

You're the carver that's hollowed you

Internal havoc you wreak

You blame other people

Cause you're not getting better

It must be someone else's fault

A lazy way to think you're clever

All of the triggers and all of the feels

Steer you all kinds of directions

You're just spinning your wheels

Knee-jerk reactions

can cause accidents

Further division

and calling it quits

Over old wounds

from past events

Polluting your present

You're wasting a gift
