Self

Can you feel this pressure?
A repeating emotion;
The thought to disappear still lingers.
Will you be gone without a trace?
Self-inflicted impulses;
With a nervous heartbeat
And a heavy rock around your feet,
You're fading away.
Why is that?
Weren't you strong enough?
Or have you lost your sanity?
Pain induced self-destruction.
What's really your excuse?
Such a bad first impression;
Yet we're now at an impasse.
Am I the cause of this?
Or are you just now waking up from a dream?
Time has passed here,
But there's no telling how much.
What's a memory to you anyway?
Everything's a blur;
Nothing is sane.
Your heart has become empty.
You're now alone;
Yet all you have is me.
Self-hatred is at it's worst.
With a shallow breath
And an illness too complicated to diagnose.
A repeating emotion;
Defining the word we know as insanity.
Who are we really...?
