Away With Oneself

I, a stranger to myself, am receiving

These words, I know, I must accept, but how?

My eyes come bulging out my skull

And my heart, my heart explodes

Now I recognize my own weakness

I, a danger to myself, am begging

For you, to see how I become my own demise

I dig

The dirt beneath my nails

Proof of my anguish

My aching heart screams mercy
