Becoming It

I'm holding back a cough, It turned to a choke. I try to make it quiet, But you awoke. Gotta keep a smile, Pretend I'm alright. Just for awhile. Trust me, I'm not always this depressed. I have my moments. Ups and downs, But downs seem to cling. I want to tear down the demon deep inside my soul. Somehow my life it took control. It refuses to let go. The more I fight back, The more it digs in. Way too deep under my skin. The sickness spreads throughout my body. I'm becoming what I am. Just a stupid emo, The one everyone hates. There's nothing else I can be. Emo is as far as I can reach.
