Forgive Me

forever battered and bruised;
this is not a life you choose.
consumed by feelings of paranoia and doubt,
you soon learn your bad habits are things you cannot live without.
tormented by the past that holds you,
all you want is for it to let you go.
free it's grasp from your mind.
as time passes, things decline
and you know that you can't survive.
living with such feelings of fear,
it'll be impossible to get through another year.
month.
day.
hour.
and before you know it, the thoughts take action,
and just like that it's done.
it all ends.
