Tell me.
Do you really need someone to come save you?

A prince charming, a knight in shining armor,
to save you, a damsel in distress.

Or a superwoman, a strong, independent lady,
to save you, a hopeless lone ranger.

Why do you need to depend on someone to save you? Is it because you have given up hope to save yourself?

Have you even tried to save yourself? And if you have, is it that hopeless? Are you that hopeless?

Don't you have a family, or friends to help you with that? Don't you already have the people around you to help you save yourself?

Why do you need to depend on someone, especially emotionally to save you? Is it because you have tried, countless of times, but always to no avail?

no. i don't have any family, or friends to help me. and i'm not expecting anyone to save me, either. not a knight, not a superwoman.

the demons, they have infested me. they live within me. trust me when i say i am still trying to save myself.

but how would i be able to do so if all they—the people in my life—would do is just leave me in the end? the cycle is endless: they see me in this state, they panic, and they leave.

how am i supposed to save myself, when i'm not even expecting to be saved? when i can't even call out for help?

tell me, how can i save myself, when the only person that should be saving me, can't?

(that person is me, i need to save myself, yet i myself can't be saved.)
