I Promise

Stop and breathe, you're okay, I promise.
The words I told myself as I believed I was going through a never-ending state of living hell
I wrote those words on my arm in hope I'd make them true,
Because If you repeat a lie more than three times
It slowly becomes the truth
Just to convince myself I was okay,
Just so I wouldn't do it again,
...I wouldn't, right?
I had to remember to Stop and Breathe,
Stop and Breathe,
I'm okay, I promised myself to sleep,
tomorrow would come,
Try to sleep, try to breathe,
in and out as the darkness rolls in,
Stop and Breathe, you're okay I promise,
Words to convince myself that life isn't just hell,
We don't live to die, if we're born to live,
Stop and breathe, you're okay, I promise.
I wrote those words on my arm in hope I'd make them true,
Because If you repeat a lie more than three times
It slowly becomes the truth.

i actually did do this, just so we're all clear. :) i needed to just calm down, bad. haha some kid actually came up to me the next day going, "what song is that from" and when i said it wasn't from a song he looked at me like i was crazy and then i wrote this shortly after. Wouldn't you think that shaking your head and looking at someone like they're shit won't help whatever situation they're in?
