Flowing Red

Flowing Red

A Poem by Erik_M

Sometimes I’ll cry myself sleep
then I wake up full of anxiety
so I cut myself for some relief, Yeah

they can harm me
but if I do they’ll call the police
put me in a hospital
& say I can’t f*****g leave, oh no

so they inject me with insanity
tell me it’s the only way to be free
emotions start to fade away
they say that it’s healing
when I’m really just losing me,
oh say it ain’t so, oh no,
oh whoa -

f**k them & their conformity
F**k them, try to shatter away my personality
f**k them, I’ll never concede
I’d rather die than let them force me
into being something
I don’t wanna be, yeah

so I sit alone holding a mind
where dark thoughts roam
where all you can see is a black hole
& the only thing I have left is my soul
& I can let it go
so I just let the tears flow
to red
