This Needle Points North

Leave me a trail to follow, a place to go (I'm destined).
Remove hopes and dreams because I don't want them,
And I don't need them.
Sometimes I just can't function.
Dig me a hole to lay in,
Just don't leave me here.
Oh god don't leave me here.
A hidden qualm that I keep captive
Decays a spirit once held so tightly.
Mechanical smiles and blackened lungs can't fill this void.
I am so unkempt, I stagger.
I am a battle. I can't win,
I can't take this tension
