(No title)

Piled up like rocks 

Strapped across my back
Strength and endurance 
Of body and mind I seem to lack
 
Can't seem to climb this mountain
And I can't seem to do what's right
And all I can think about 
Is letting it all go tonight
 
I'd give up my life
Just to make yours okay
And I don't even mind
If you have to throw me away
 
I need a clean slate 
And I can't reach  that high
And I know if something doesn't change 
It will kill me inside
 
These words like knives
Cutting into my skin
The past I leave behind
Drowning me again
 
You've learned to love
Such a relentless beast
And I'm begging and pleading
To give me some peace 
 
Just leave me alone 
I swear you'll be fine
You deserve so much better
Someone so loving and kind
 
 Just please don't hate me
I feel guilty enough! 
I know I've made your life
Get a little rough 
 
Maybe someday
If I fight til the end
The rocks will collapse 
And I'll have no way to defend
