Insect by Richard James

I give all that I am,
Still I am nothing.
Should I hold my head high
And act like I'm something?

I've lied to myself
Just to kill this torment,
I've bled these two wrists
'Cause life came and it went.

I hold this all in
Just to keep calm and quiet.
I do not belong
'Cause this life I defy it.

No one will judge me
'Cause I'm just an insect.
Please just don't listen
'Cause these words will just infect.

I cannot erase this face
That I frown.
You cannot forgive me
'Cause I can't be found.
