IN ME

So infinite, so definite, it feels
This rut, this hole, so dark indeed
Thought I could fight this war
But don’t know how to try anymore
Can someone hear me?
Can someone save me?
Please help me
Save me quick
Trying to hold my breathe
Trying not to bleed
Trying to find my way
Trying not to stray
Make her go away
Stop her from coming my way
Please help me
Save me quick
Feeling so weak
Terribly in need
I feel the strain on my neck
I’m getting closer to death
The pain so chilling
How gruesome it is
Please help me
Save me quick
In her darkness I once thrived
Now I just hope to survive
I hear her mimic me
Craving for the blood in me
Is this the end I meet?
Or is it the fate I need?
Please help me
Save me quick
How familiar she seems
Too familiar indeed
I might kill myself at will
So we can both die with nil
Please help me
Save me quick
Because that monster is me.
