Slowly Dying

Just me being stupid and petty

I'm here for you,
Though you reject me time and
again
You say you're protecting me
But all I feel is hurt
When will you see you're worth
something
In this evil realm of dirt

I care for you though you hate it
I want you to see that you can
make it
You're treating it like a parasite,
Letting it eat you from the inside
out in the moonlight

You reject those closest to you
And pray they don't come near
You want them to leave you alone
As you tumble into despair

You can't show how much you're
hurting
And hide it through helping
You're a master of disguise
And in allegiance with
depressions rhapsodize

Awaken from this nightmare and
learn to see
I am here for you, though you
may not want me
You think it's rude and annoying
But this is untrue, as you spiral
into a pit of failing

Learn to see that you can call on
me
And I will be happy to help and
set you free
Come to see you're value and
worth are great
Despite living in a world full of
such hate

Written from a strong voice displaying raw, true emotion. This piece is both compassionate and tragic, hues that you have blended well. It's never easy loving someone who doesn't love themselves and anyone who's been in a similar scenario can relate to this. Thank you for sharing, this stirred memories of mine from long ago.
