My Own Remedy

lock me up just like i'll lock up my heart,
either way it just hides the pain.

yes, my idea of relief is pure insanity,
but keeping me confined inside four walls
won't make me anymore sane.

i've done enough talking, a stranger won't make me o.k.

i understand, i'm just one BIG disappointment,
i let the smallest thing get the best of me.

i hope one day i will quit resenting this.

my already broken heart breaks repeatedly with
every person i love finding out.

i wish there was a place, human-race free
where i could scream and shout.

my pillow doesn't exactly do the trick for me.

how about a cliff, hanging over the sea,
where i could fall and the waves would catch me?
i'm sure it would depend on how high whether or
not they would eat me dead or alive.

i apologize for every word i've been keeping unspoken,
for every mistake i keep making but don't make me seem hopeless.

understand i'm the only person who can bring me back on my feet.

not YOU, because you're too confused.

not a stranger with a clip board jotting down my every word
because that page will be empty.

no friend and not another helping hand will help anymore.

i'm strong enough to keep the waves from pulling me under,
i'll fight until i reach the surface and any foot of land.

even heavily drenched in water or grief,
i'll stand on my own again.
