THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

ANOTHER DAY PASSES AND I FEEL MORE GUILT,
ANOTHER NIGHT PASSES AND I FEEL MORE SHAME.
I CAN NOT STOP IT, I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED,
OR MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO STOP IT.

ANOTHER DAY PASSES AND I REMOVE ALL EVIL THAT IS INSIDE,
ANOTHER NIGHT PASSES AND I'M IN THE BATHROOM ONCE AGAIN ON MY KNEES.

ALL I CAN DO IS SHOVE MY FINGERS DOWN MY MOUTH UNTIL THEY BLEED,
THEN THE END OF A BRUSH, THEN A HANGER, THEN A TOOTHBRUSH.

I DO THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, 'TIL I FEEL I AM GOOD ENOUGH,

GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM....
