My life may have been a mess,

But at least it was secure.

My mind may have been sick,

But I didn't want a cure.

Now I'm sinking in the ocean,

Holding on to a disintegrating raft.

You think you're doing me a favor,

But I know I'm drowning fast.

You've taken away my lifeline

And left me with nothing to cling to.

You think that you're pulling me back to the land,

But really, you're driving me further out.

You've dragged me into a whirlpool,

And there's no escape that I can see.

I'm just stuck here, dizzyingly

Spinning, spinning eternally.

Please, just let go of me,

It's the best thing you could do for me.

I know that you just want to help,

But help's not what I need.

You're tearing down the walls

That for so long have protected me.

Now you've ripped the floor out from under me,

I feel so exposed, just let me be.
