Misery

On the cycle of misery...

Won't someone take away my misery

Frankly I am getting sick of me

Repeating the same mistakes

To say I'm learning, makes me a fake

I sit in pain til I can take no more

Til I am beaten and on the floor

Then I try to resurrect myself

Pretend to be somebody else

For in my misery I am safe

As I do not know what can replace

This need to inflict pain inwardly

To have self love must be the key

If i could learn to love who I am

Then I would not need to feel like a scam

And I might feel as if I deserve

Something more on this forsaken earth
