Mistake

There are voices in my mind

But they're not mine

Am I losing time?

You don't know me

No one does lately

What is going on

Your evil is taking over me

I forget how to breathe

Let me see something different


I'm suffocated by your presence

I don't need any presents

Just got me out of here

I noticed how much I'd sacrifice

I'd give up everything just to be away from you

I never signed up for this

I wasn't supposed to live like this

One mistake at a young age

It can ruin a life forever


I wish I would have told the truth that day

It's been 5 years but I still feel ashamed

I could have escaped

Before it was too late

I kind of forgot that was the case

I'm going insane

The past is gonna kill me, one of these days

How am I still around?

It's terrifying but I wonder

Almost as much as they do

Pretty soon

Will I finally have a life that's new?
