Self-Inflicted

Frustration, exasperation,

Total damnation

Why can’t I seem to be of any use?

I'm trapped inside my own walls

Unknown to all, I continue to fall

In my own pit of despair

This just isn’t fair

Why am I this way?

Will I see the day where I will be okay?

I need to pull myself together

Been like this since forever

Somebody help me

I want to call out

To scream, to shout

But I fear that no one will hear

So I keep my screams inside

Push the feelings aside

Ripping me apart until I’m nothing

Only going around

Pretending to be something

Everything’s so dull now

Everything’s so numb

Every event of every day is no longer fun

Every false sensation is only confirmation

That my motivation and myself are done
