Die

Folder: 
Blah

Your expletives spread across my face

Like the spit coming from your lips

Acid burning through to the very core

Of what used to be

Or really never was

As I try to get up the courage to smack you

Or punch you

Or find some way

To let this hatred and pain erupt

Without letting it hurt me anymore

I spread my arms out to an endless sky

That's come crashing down on me

From high up above

A cloudless sky

Waiting to crush me with the weight of its convictions

That I am always wrong

That I cannot, ever be good enough

So I fall with the world

I drown with the fish

And die in no one's arms

As they hold me for dear life

Because they love me.
