The wheel keeps turning
My face keeps burning
I am on fire
I am a liar
I am ashamed.

The fingers dig in
Nails breaking my skin
I am red
Am I dead?
I am hurt.

The words slam hard
My dignity in shards
I am broke
I am a joke
I am nothing.

I see the void
I trip, I collide
I fall
I call
No one replies.

I take the blade
I begin to fade
I clench
I drench
I am okay.

I weaken & stumble
My body crumbles
I am high
This is goodbye
Oh look, a smile.
