"I'm okay, promise"
October 31, 2012
I just want to scream until my lungs give way
Exploding with the stress I have tucked away
No fight left in me, the spark fizzled out
I'd give any possession to escape this route
My sense of purpose lost
No gain is worth the cost
Tried so hard to win but always lost
Forever reaching for perfection but never tall enough
"I'm okay, promise"
Please call that bluff.
