Drunken Mind

By A Burning God

Everything that I’ve been told is a lie,
From how you don’t want me as a boyfriend to my levels of insanity.
I don’t know who to turn to,
Who to trust.
My mind is a complete mess,
I’m shaking from confusion.
Glimpses of “truths” cloud me,
I don’t know what to think.
You suggested that I get some help,
(But the truth is, I’ve tried, and I cannot trust the psychiatrists)
And my faults keep me from assistance,
I’m too stubborn to accept most help.
No one fights my battles for me,
So my proposal is thus:
Let me fight my demons alone,
I do not need help,
Because then you will become their target, too.
And losing both of us is something that I cannot bear.

    I've said it and will again. you can trust me, even though that's not what you want to hear right now. I liked this piece... it shows a lot of emotions, not just anger, and that is a rare thing... well done.

    That's harsh, man. You can trust me. I am your friend, and I want only the best for you.

    I probably should have worded that differently, but that was the feeling for the moment
