Things in my life have gone too far
I sit back, ruminating on my choices
But the fear of my mistakes is huge
It makes me sad, and I struggle with reality

I think about every second I've wasted
My troubled mind is trapped in a lifeless body
I desire for a simpler, more ordinary life
Free from the weight of my mistakes, I'm desperate to break free

Escaping this dark place feels daunting
A crucial moment in a life of a flawed human
I hate to describe the feeling of terror consuming me
I'm gasping for air, barely able to speak

People think I'm reserved, but I'm made
A structure of mistakes, a human being
And I still think this has gone too far
Feeling the pain, but hiding the scars
