A Fight That Can't Be Won

Razors pushed down
Like kisses to the skin
Washing away hate and pain
As the flow of blood begins

Struggling in a flood of tears
Shaking hands and eyes bloodshot
Throwing away everything now
That I once was taught

I've betrayed everyone
And let them down
Through my eyes all I see
Is looks of shame and frowns

Wristbands covering scars
That tell stories of the past
Of fears and relationships
That were never meant to last

I've lost my life
From the broken truth of shame
Memories I have in my head
Cause me all this pain

I try to fight back all these dreams
That haunt me at night
But no matter how I try
I realize, I will never win this fight
