I wish I could cut out my heart

Someone help me do it, please

It gives me so much grief

I have to pick up the pieces every time it breaks and put it back together

Wandering aimlessly, pulling the rest of me along with it

I feel as though it weighs me down

Nails chewed to the quick over what other people want for me

Body shaking, trying to hold it all in

Eyes welling in fear of messing everything up

I just think I would be easier to go without

I know your heart is what makes you human

But mine is overgrown, vines wrapped around my neck

A boisterous behemoth of feelings that turns a blind eye to all logic

My heart makes me a fool – makes a fool of me

So let me be done with it
