Always the obvious

Face up upon your bed is where I lie,
From outside your window it appears I'm still alive.
Eyes frozen at a position of which I would never look away,
A note taped on the ceiling, something at this point I was much to weak to say.

"You lost yourself years ago before today. You've broken promises and you've pushed loved ones away. Every tear, every scar. You'll forget all of this, just remember you made it this far. No one will hurt you anymore. No one will be able to see. For years you've been held back from everything, Now  you'll be able to live free."

I was always the forgiving type, but I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself,
My skin began to turn blue, as I started to question my mental health.
I peeled the flesh back from my bones to show you I'm not as empty as I seem,
Lately It's becoming harder to tell what's real and what's a dream.
