Analysis of I CANT FIGHT ANYMORE



KICKING AND SCREAMING, I CAN’T BREATHE. HIS HANDS ARE GRIPPING MY HAIR.
HIS EYES SO FULL OF RAGE, HES HURTING ME. AND HE DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE.
HIS HANDS GRIP MY NECK AND MY BREATH CAN’T ESCAPE, EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO FADE.
I FEEL WARMTH, SMILES AND HAPPINESS. THEY ARE MEMORIES REPLAYED.
I SUCCUMB TO THE DARK AND LET MYSELF DRIFT, I CAN’T FIGHT ANYMORE.
I HEAR HIS FOOT STEPS, HE HAS WHAT HE WANTS AND THEN I HEAR THE DOOR.
I LAY ON THE FLOOR AND PRAY TO THE LORD PLEASE JUST LET ME DIE.
I DON’T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE, ITS JUST TOO MUCH. JUST LET ME SAY GOODBYE.
WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY “IT WILL BE OKAY” WHILE TEARS TAKE OVER YOUR FACE?
I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE REASON, THAT WILL HELP GET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE.
“BREATHE DEEP, JUST SMILE”. DON’T THEY KNOW YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE?
ILL JUST LAY HERE, KNEES TUCKED IN, DESPERATION SEEPING FROM MY CORE.
