Another Day
You can’t seem to stop the pain
And it seems like everybody is far away
You cry to yourself to sleep at night
But only God seems to recognize
Voices in your head are telling you the only way out is death
Louder and louder they speak
And you try so hard to grasp on to reality
They tell you, you’re not good enough
You’re nothing, and nobody wants you
And the only way out is to die
But you continue to hold on to reality
Because….
Nobody seems to know your pain but you
So when they say “your pain is my own”
You look at them like their dead wrong
You think to yourself where were you when I needed help
When I was down and out
And on my last breath
You were nowhere to be found
So please don’t come around now
I learnt that I don’t need you
And it doesn’t matter what those voices say
Because you can hold on to what you believe in
And die another day
