Is everything I left behind me

Everything I sacrificed
Considering the sacrifices made, acknowledging the weight of the choices.
So much loss for just one fragile cause

A flower wilting beneath the weight of this sinking ship

It pulls me down

It pulls me down away from you

And the loneliness it makes me stupid
Stating that loneliness has a negative impact, clouding judgment or causing foolish actions.
Completely at the mercy
Feeling entirely vulnerable to insincerity and deception.
Of every form of insincerity
Being at the mercy of various forms of dishonesty or lack of genuineness.
Maintaining this illusion makes me manic and weak

So I guess all that's left is for me to grit my teeth
Accepting the need to endure and persevere despite the difficulties.
Grit my teeth when they've just been broken
Expressing determination to endure even when faced with severe challenges or setbacks.
Soldier on in the face of fear

Too much is all it takes to be here

How much will it cost to persevere?

A flower wilting beneath the weight of this sinking ship

I can't keep drowning for this
