I CAN'T ESCAPE THIS STATE OF MIND. IT ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. I FAIL TO BELIEVE BECAUSE NOTHING EVER WORKS OUT LIKE IT SHOULD. I TRY TO BELIEVE YOUR WORDS BUT DEEP INSIDE IT EATS AWAY.

Never did I claim to be what I'm not.. Never did I try to tell you that I thought. you should be or think or act a certain way.. Still I stood by my beliefs..
This wasn't something new but I couldn't let it go.. All the times that you had fell into this trap you call home.. Silence was so necessary and it wouldn't break..
