Mistakes All Over Poem by Melissa Leddy

I give up- no more trying
I messed up and now I'm dying
I loved you, I mistook love
I wanted you, got pushed and shoved

Now I'm lying on the ground
In this bloody mess I made myself
Trying to escape my mind
Running from this man made hell
Lonely. Thinking about you.
Quietly wishing you were too.
Somewhere, someone will love me, someday
There I go, trying to get me to stay.

I give up- no more trying.
I give up- come on, I'm dying.
I give up and now I'm trying
to slowly keep on dying.

Help me- don't help me- I need to help myself.
Love me- no, don't love me- I deserve to live through hell.
Lean on me- don't lean on me- I need my shoulder ready.
Save me- God, please save me- this burden is way too heavy

I'm still lying on the ground
In the bloody mess I made myself
Trying to escape my mind
Running from this man made hell
I get so lonely just thinking of you
I wish you were thinking of me, too
Tell myself someone will love me, someday
That's all I can do to keep me to stay.
