Enough

Pushed in just deep enough
To strike a nerve, produce the hurt
Keeping me alive, while killing me slowly
Pulled just tight enough
To draw the blood, start the flood
No one can stop my fate, they don't even know me
Every night I lay wondering if I'll wake up
Every morning I rise just to wait for the darkness
I go through the motions again wishing my life would fade to black
Hoping one day I'll fall asleep and never come back
