    Lying to myself

    Hidden in the depths of my own denial.
    As righteous as I make it out to be, I fail.
    Nothing can be real, I wont let it be.
    I feel all that I allow myself to feel and nothing more,
    Which honestly isn't much.
    Suffer through all that I pretend is ok.
    For every nail hammered in, I lose more and more of the strength that I once held so high.
    Deception is my only option, but I only decieve myself.
    Glory to christ for catching onto the evil ways that I never knew I had,
    damnation the cure? Perhaps.
    You take the decision into your own command,
    Punishing me for trying to be by you side,
    though each and every knife that took a slice continued until I became a shadow of myself,
    someone only you could recognize.
    Lost to myself,
    lost to my friends,
    what is this creature I have manifested into?
