You’ve caught me red handed

I’m mentally fragile,

For so long, I’ve tried to hide it,

And I know I shouldn’t,

I’ve been living my life like it’s already gone,

I know I should embrace it, face it,

Instead I’ve tried to purge it,

But it’s stain has soaked through to the bone,

Through so many layers that there’s no more to peel back,

It’s at the core, I need to find my way back home
