I went to the store today
I stood at the door and prayed
that I get through this okay
I feel the sweat dripping down my face
my palms are soaking wet
I don’t know if I can make it
I’m think I’m going to have to quit
but I’m the one that’ll take that hit
I promised my family a banana split
I wish I were invisible
I think this might be clinical
we are all just fictional
by now I’m sure this isn’t fixable
since
my existence is of tether
I’m not getting any better
I can’t battle this much longer
all of these meds, night talking after night
from this point on, its fight or flight
