I Don't Understand


Why am I sad

Why do I want to cry

 

Is it the pain I feel for a friend

Is it the fact that someone died

 

Why do I fear the monsters

Burning in my head

 

Drowning me

I can not breathe

 

I think they want me dead

 

I hurt so bad

What do I do

 

It starts to get the best of you

 

Try and hold on

Don't let go

 

Like a cancer

Nightmares flow

 

Drifting on forever it seems

 

I wish

Let me be

 

No one understands

And neither do I
