These creatures my mind had created left me tainted.

They occupy a large space, and I stay in the corner, where I remain.

They drive me insane, telling me things about myself I know is untrue,

But something inside tells me to believe them, too.

What can I do?

How can I fight when they're out of sight,

My mind has become such a dark place to stay the night,

not even one single glimmer of light.

I know deep inside it's not right, but they tell me to think about it twice,

Making me second guess myself.

Oh why, oh why.

I stay in the corner of my room and cry. In front of my mirror, they tell me lies.

I try to tell myself what I like about me,

But they tell me to think otherwise.

I hate myself more, than I had realized.

I thought this was just a faze, but it left me paralyzed,

In so many ways.

Now death is what I crave,

But I still hang on because I know it's not the solution.

I want to overcome these evil beasts, so I can finally think good things in peace.

Death is not the way.

Because it only takes you to a more horrible place,

Stay, hang on, and fight for the happiness you seek.
