Throw your life away

an endless tunnel

perpetual/eternal struggle

no self respect

Abuse your body

like it's a hobby

collect all your addictions

line them up

on a shelf

take a snapshot and frame it

tell me/like you don't hate yourself

lie and cheat the system

it's a given

what you do

endear yourself to other

so they never suspect the truth

Catalog their misconceptions

abut your personality

feed their ignorance

selfish and unapologetically

You're a waste

you're wasteland

lost in space and

No one hears your cries

out of place

in this time span

strung out

no doubt

you're in your way

when it comes to feeling alive

bad habits never die

can't taste the saccharine

if the dose isn't on point

you've lost the ability

to live out your life normally

overloads receptors

till they break

cause they can't bear

the weight of the prescriptions

you've written for self care

Ah.

there a few ways out

but it's your choice

you can turn it off

or give it voice

you can make believe

that it's not wrong

you can make believe what you want
