All Along

I’ve let everyone down, I can’t hold my breath
I wish it would all end now, I never thought I’d wish for death.

Friendships ruined and trust shattered
I can’t even look at people now, not without feeling utterly battered.

Voices of warning, shame and regret
I can’t take any more, this much I can bet.

Relationships broken and respect lost
I feel like my own ghost of the past.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt
I’m just so sick of myself and of feeling like dirt.

Don’t leave me, please, I swear I’ll change
I know you hate me; you want me gone? Well that I can arrange.

It’s not them, it’s me, they did no wrong
You were right to scold me, I trust you and you knew all along…

Some things in life cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.
