Becky Ginn - Overwhelming emotions! ! !

Misery, depression, anger, pain
Confusing emotions engulf me again

I try so hard to just break free
No matter where I go, they follow me

They are destroying me from the inside out
They make me question what life is about

I cannot handle this any more
So I go to my room and shut the door

I decide what my weapon of choice shall be
Then I pull up my sleeves ‘til fresh skin I see

The old scars remind me of my past
And show me just how long misery lasts

As I begin to cut relief washes over me
Confusing emotions blind me so easily

This is the only thing that helps me to cope
Although that doesn’t really offer much hope

I try so hard just to stay strong
But I think I will crack before too long

Misery, depression, anger and pain
Force me to self harm, again and again
