i put myself here

961 52 3
                                    

My eyes are burning
My vision blurring
My knuckles are hurting
My head pounding

Between sobs
I glance at the door
Locked

I am a monster
Chained with my anger
I put myself here
For this is what I deserve

The ceiling, the walls
The room gets cold
I put myself here
At least I can bear

I didn't wanna kill
I don't wanna die
But what if
There's no choice

So I put myself here
Because I'm a monster
Who was once a saint

I don't wanna kill
So I choose to die
Because that's my only choice
