When We Don't Want To Be Us

Bitterness creeping
into our chests
spoiling everything
that we have left.
We've tried to change
for others and ourselves.
Only to cause misfortune
and bring people into our hell.

Bearing all of our battle wounds
with shame and insecurity.
We pick the sinewy flesh away
hoping to die with some dignity.
But everyone still continues to stand there,
with that ever present sneer.
We simply bury our heads in the sand
because we don't want to be here.

-strung out-
*up tight*
(at everyone's throat)
/can't think right./
But it's okay,
We're still .h.e.r.e.
still drying to
-disappear-.

And we wouldn't be so secluded
or feel so alone-
if maybe someone would give us some reasons.
on why they left us on our own.
But no one says a single word,
crumbling every bit of our trust.
And it's impossible to stop how we feel inside
because we don't want to be us.
