To My Younger Self

I always thought, 

what you did was irritating.

The things you put yourself through, 

it's aggravating.

Tell me why,

do I have to lie 

to please you.

Don't fall.

Tell me why,

do I have to stop, 

and leave you bleeding.

Don't fall.

Tell me why,

do I have to stay quiet,

and leave you hurting.

Don't fall.

You, you degrade yourself,

you fall.

You kind of hate yourself

for doing so.

Don't fall.
