Self Preservation

Stop giving

It all away

And save some

For yourself

If you carry on

It’ll all be gone

And you’ll destroy

Your mental health

Silence Kills

I thought that you

Were telling the truth

When you said

You were here to help

Yet despite my decline

I realised in time

You were only ever out

For yourself

Just
walk
away

And
don’t
look
back

(Self)
defence
really
is

The
best
form
of
attack

I’m not sure

What I was protecting here

My mind, body or soul

Either way, it seems,

I’d go to extremes

To keep whatever makes me whole

Access Denied

What I have

Is not for you

It is mine and mine alone

If you want

What I have got

Fuck off and find your own
