Save me from myself there’s no where else to run.

Don’t let my self-worth fester.

I thought I could outrun myself chasing after me with a gun.

I trap me in the corner, completely compressed.

I snicker as I load the gun, point it to my chest.

Frozen on the trigger, pleading not to pull.

I sink to the floor sobbing like a fool.

Immersed in emotion, contradicted by myself

I summon all my courage and the fear begins to melt.

I’ve spoiled my intentions, and knocked myself back.

Maybe I’ll improve myself and cut me a little slack.

The gun morphed into a key on the floor.

It will harm me no more.

I turn and walk away from myself feeling suffocated

Will my past always haunt me until i am obliterated?

I hug the lock with the chain

I lock it and smile, it wont hurt me again.
