All the times that I locked myself in my room,

I did it because I had to,
I had to get away,
I had to stop me from hurting myself.
I don't know why I failed,
I just did.
Like all the times I made a plan,
But it never worked out.
Like all the times my heart got broke,
But I mended it with hate.
Like when I said I'd be successful,
But I never reached out for anything.
All the ***** that I said,
All the times that I fell,
All the people I hurt,
All the feelings I have...
And I did it because I had to. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 13 [informant] => surge_joebot [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

All the tears that I cried,
All the times that I locked myself in my room,
All the things that I said,
All the times I ran away...
I did it because I had to,
I had to get away,
I had to stop me from hurting myself.
I don't know why I failed,
I just did.
Like all the times I made a plan,
But it never worked out.
Like all the times my heart got broke,
But I mended it with hate.
Like when I said I'd be successful,
But I never reached out for anything.
All the ***** that I said,
All the times that I fell,
All the people I hurt,
All the feelings I have...
And I did it because I had to.
