I am diagnosed with a sickness that's called failure
It dominates my body slowly but surely
Slowly, but it creates havoc to everything it hits
Surely, for it saves nothing inside me.
Time will come I'll be as limp as a wilting flower
As damaged as a city after a tornado
As dilapidated as an abandoned house somewhere in the forest
Too weak to move but too tired to rest.
Someday I'll be nothing but ash
One with the soil, with bacteria, with the trash
Closer to the earth I once taken for granted
but far to the people who made feel unwanted.
"Will I be forgotten?" is not the question that bothers me the most
Because people only care when someone is already lost.
What I fear the most is the answer to the question, "Will I leave something worthy of remembrance?"
Because all my life all I wanted was acceptance.
Acceptance for who I am, for who I am not, for who I will be, for who I can become.
Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. Maybe I can. Maybe I can't.
The possibilities are endless but my will to live is finally coming to an end.
I am diagnosed with a sickness called failure
It takes a toll on me everyday
I stopped asking for mayday
I gave in to its calling.
This is hopeless. There is no cure.
I am hopeless. I am doomed.
