I've tried my best to appeal
To all my bittersweet dreams
Maybe they could sub in
For all the worst parts of me
How come affirmation
Is something I can't win?
I know I'm still breathing
But what am I breathing in?
Am I even coping?
This omen still lingers
Like burgundy nail polish
Chipping off of my fingers
I'm having nightmares again
Dreams mean people are dying
But please always remember
I never stopped trying
