Off The Wall

Jason Harley Ross

Free verse
I feel the hatred building
Inside it's boiling over
The feeling getting stronger
Can't stop it now

Knowing full well
You'll be off for days
And there is the damage
That can't be undone

I fucking hate myself
And the person I am
Things would be
Better without me

Let me go
Take back your freedom
And find happiness
Let my pain stop

F*ck it all
You'll be fine
Your pain will pass
Things will get better
