Life


The world is crashing down all around me,

All I see is blackness.

Over and over and over again,

Where is the light?

Why isn't it like I thought?

What screwed up life was I given?

Or was this life my choice?

Did I choose,

This pain, this misery?

The hurt closes all around me,

The pain incases my skin,

It started in my head,

Now it's all over.

I promised I wouldn't,

I said it wouldn't happen again,

I said I would remain sane.

I will fight and fight.

I will hold my head up and push the pain back.

I will be ther person I need to be,

I will be me.
