I am an amputee. I’ve had to remove so many pieces of me. Losing one is just as hard as the innumerable pieces that I’ve had to discard. It’s never easy for me. But it’s something I’ve had to try to accept. These pieces were poisoning me. They did nothing for me but hurt and deject.
I’m letting you know.
I’ve decided to let you go.
I never wanted it to be this way.
Just another piece to amputate.
Thoughts and feelings can drown when you let the burden of them drag you down.
With people it’s also the same.
They stand on your shoulders, hold you down, and restrain.
And you never want them to leave.
You hope that things can work out naturally.
But they seldom do.
People will always disappoint you.
I’m letting you know.
I’ve decided to let you go.
I never wanted it to be this way.
Just another piece to amputate.
It’s getting to the point that there isn’t too much of me left.
Just a hollow shell of the person that I was before I went through his hell.
You’d think it stronger of me but it’s only achieved to make me weak.
I am an amputee.
You can take another piece of me.
Just take it. I’m done.
I’d rather fade than try and go on.
Just take it. I’m done.
I’d rather fade than try to go on.
