Everyday It Gets Worse

My sadness is like a bruise

Or an infection with no treatment

Everyday it gets worse

And it eats me up more and more

The feeling of loneliness

Feeds at my heart

And it doesn't help that what I feel

Is undeniably true

It makes me want to die

And I swear I thought

That the depression was over.

I feel fat and ugly

Stupid and weak

Alone and tired

Broken hearted and pathetic

Invisible and mad

I feel like I'm not enough

I've felt like this for so long

And everything I do

Just proves my theory right.


People ignore me.

They run my heart over

Like a raccoon on the road

They shoot my body down

And say "why aren't you dead yet?"

They pick at my brain

To try and find out why I'm here

They slice my flesh

To see if I really do bleed

They fuck me over

Just to feel something for themselves

They rip out my eyes

To see if I still won't cry

They remove my stomach

So I can finally look "pretty"

They criticize my voice

Because they're jealous

I'm their little lab rat.

"Let's see if this'll fix her"


But that doesn't bother me

What sucks

Is that everyday it gets worse

And I don't think anything can fix it

Not anymore
