Eyes of Maddness


Eye's of Maddness 2

by Eloisa Small

 

Here in my eyes of maddness

I see sanity

What I did to my body

What I did to my mind

I looked in the mirror

I saw darkness and death

It called to me

I felt there's nothing left

Why did I continue

Why did I need high

To take me away

It helped me fly

I sat and cried, cried for that high

Now I stand strong with God by my side
