When I look at the drawn face

In the traitor mirror

I remember everyone's words

Come rushing back

Like small hurricanes

All those words

They ever said

Were always true

But I had ignored them

Until it was nearly too late

But maybe I've gone too far

Gone too long

Tried too hard

And maybe I'm slipping away

Maybe it's too late

I wish that I had never started

Then I'd never have been

Where I'm standing

Helpless

Today

The limbs that used to climb trees

Swing off branches

And chasing after others

Yelling I'm it

Those limbs

Can't hold me up

No longer

I'm a fragile piece of paper

Torn too many times

Taped back together again

Just to fall apart

Again

I'm a living wreck

Verging on dying

Barely living

But I'll stay strong

And this time

To survive
