Something to hold on

***

Filth

That's what I am

Why are they all looking at me like that?
Why are they staring
like wanting me to vanish?

Soon I will
Soon I will breathe no more
Soon I will hurt no more

But

Then there's you

The only one who accepts me
Even my dark side

The only one who doesn't think I'm crazy
Or just hungry for attention

There's you

The only one I can't leave behind
You're the thing that keeps me trying
Living
Waiting for tomorrow

But oh
the scars
The scars will never heal.
