Devil on my chest
Quick descent left deep impressions then
Curse under my breath
View the world through dark suppressive lens
Grovel at my best
Flourish within deep depression
Comprehension scarred my vision
I can't seem to see the end
Scarf around my neck is wound to keep the cold inside
At night I roll around my bed
Sleep is wasted time and I'm approaching death
Still life's a chore for no reward
I'm worse at coping than them
I'm worse at coping than the rest
It's just a test of patience
Still hard to keep a level head
Use of restraint is basic
Most realisations what I should have said
Too late but I cannot contain my stress
I'm meant to keep the mess within a form you could trace with a pen
But my mechanisms faulty and right now I'm stuck with them
Devil on my chest
Quick descent left deep impressions then
Curse under my breath
View the world through dark suppressive lens
Grovel at my best
Flourish within deep depression
Comprehension scarred my vision
I can't seem to see the end
Furrowed brow the cherry sat atop my scowl
Whip in my face hangs from my crown
Scar me ’til I cry aloud
Mark me on unblemished ground
In spite of doubt I shed my silent shell when no-one’s round
To witness taps turn into pounds
This gate is shut, I’ll wait it out
