Eighth Hour

If you play with fire

eventually you’ll

get burned

isn’t this the way

it always is

 

I never thought anything

was supposed to get to me.

I thought I was

big

bad

tough

thick skinned

 

one day

43 minutes

Not so sure I

can make it

 

But you did this to me

made me feel

stupid

insecure

unworthy

ugly

 

You did this to me

hurt me

pushed me down

Made me feel

like I couldn’t do

anything right

 

two days

1 hour

20 minutes

how long since

 

I want to ask you

notice me

see what I’m doing

to make you happy

not me

I don’t matter

 

I am not perfect

and I’m not the ldeal

I can’t help it

I can’t be what you

want me to be

 

three days

8 hours

little by little

I’m doing it

Are you proud

 

I’m tired of trying to conform

to what

you want

you think

you wish

you hope

I would be

 

It’s not

going to happen

I have my own mind

but you still try to

push it

 

nitpick a little more

why don’t you

find something else

wrong with

my attitide

my language

my choices

me

 

four days

14 hours

56 minutes

since

 

Everytime I do it

I feel like a failure

like Im disgusting

like I’m unworthy

to even be seen

 

I can’t do it anymore

I can’t make bad choices

can’t spend my life trying

to please you

It only brings me down

 

what I know now

is you may only have

my best interests at heart

but you pick the wrong way

to go about it

 

Am I different

Do I look better

Are you pleased yet

Can I stop this ridiculous

charade

 

the clock’s ticking

time is going by

but you still

don’t see it

call me a drama queen

 

Five days

13 hours

the constant

craving’s still there

not as strong though

 

I can’t be what everyone else

wants me to be

It’s not right

It’s not going to happen

 

I know you want me to

have everything

that I could ever want

And I appreciate that

but it doesn’t change facts

 

You aren’t good for me

you claim to love me

but yet you hurt me this

way

 

six days

1 minute

I’ve reached it

my breaking point

 

I’m crawling along

on the floor

on my hands

my knees

Broken

 

You broke me

Satisfied?

Made me not

want it anymore

 

Take a second

just to breathe

Nope

Don’t want it anymore

 

Congratulations

damn you

I get over one addiction

Just to get fucked with

another one

 

Seven Days

I’m done

no more cravings

if they come up

I just ignore

them

 

Soon I won’t

be able to fight off

anything

not a cold

not an infection

not even diseases

 

Maybe you’re proud of me now.
