Paper Airplane by Sweet_Suicide

You whispered to me last night, said to make my old habits new again
And yeah, I can't escape you, but still I went and ran
Didn't want to see that life no more, I told you this time it's over
But still you haunt and torture me, you still tempt your precious clover
So I made a paper airplane of hate, and I trapped you inside for good
But I kept all my insecurities, didn't let them go, I knew I should
And I'm still weak without you, wish you could kiss my pale~scarred skin
Yet I know you'll die someday, and I'll awaken from all of my sins
So fly away, my pain, quit trying to sway me back to you
I'll stop talking and being near you, if that's what I have to do
Yeah, sometimes I stumble, but I'm sick of this fake sadness
I'm waking up from this nightmare, you may try but you can't have me
The kids outside are flying kites, and as I watch, I smile
I miss those innocent days when I was just a naive child
So I'll stop wrapping myself in self~pity, I'm standing now, I'm done
This bullshit charade of promises made and fake tears aren't any fun
I'll admit those times I was alone with my pins gave me relief
But this "everlasting pain" is a choice, and I don't choose it for me
I won't hurt myself because it's "cool" or something new and unknown
I knew damn well before I started that the ending was oh so close
So fly away, my pain, I may slip but I won't fall
I'm standing on my own, I'm giving it my all
Burning up this paper airplane, I'll laugh as your ashes die
Because I will no longer allow myself to keep living this lie.

Inspiring
Great piece of work. This really will inspire a lot of souls who are caught in that vicious cycle confused how to put an end to it thought they know they don't really have it.
Truly amazing.. Keep up the good work.

Really wonderful, but...
...I must admit that the first thing that came to my mind was the MIA song. But seriously, this is a great poem.
