my-pen-is-a-pistola:
I need to stop it
I need to quit
Nah, fuck it,
I need a couple more cigarettes.
Just another pack,
I’ll pay the sin tax,
Because this habit Is worth the tarred lungs,
it’s just as good as a fist
or a gun
Because they hurt my chest
And it feels better than all my regrets-
physical pain is tangible
but depression is too hard to handle.
You can treat a cut
but you can’t heal what You can’t see.
It’s all what you believe
and I believe I’m stuck.
I’m in a dark place
and I can’t seem to give a fuck.
I don’t know how to heal
so all I do is rob and steal,
Even though all i want
is to feel what it’s like to feel.
Believe me I’ve tried,
and I find that its easier to run and hide,
to find a dark corner in the back of my mind
where these regrets can’t reach,
where it’s okay to be a creep-
where all I can do is bleed,
and all I feel is a pain in my chest…
Where I’m left alone
With nothing but smoke,
Nothing to fear
And no need for hope.
