Living..
Breath by breath
Step by step
Word by word
I'm taking it day by day
I'm not living
I'm just standing still in a whirlwind
Wondering what it is that I'm feeling, wondering how to make it go away
Temporary happiness, temporary laughter but only if I could say the same for the pain
I'm not living
Wishing I could say how I feel but I can't begin to even speak
My days are filled with silence and mental interrogation
I smile only from the memories of the past wishing I held memories of the present
But moments are all I know now
I'm not living
I feel voids that I can't fill
I've tried every flavor and almost about every pill, please help me
I'm not living
I'm drowning on the inside from my own tears
Do you know that feeling of wanting to cry out? But every tear seems to flow backwards just like your memories, just like every time you say you're okay but your words remind you your living a lie once again..
Nah I don't think you feel me
I've lost all feeling to the world but I've found every pain mentally
I hear my own screams but can you hear me? Do you see me cry out for help?
I can't breath when I'm alone, anxiety takes my breath like that strangers cigarette
Save me
It hurts more to smile than to cry these days
It hurts more to sleep than to be awake
My days feel shorter and my nights longer
Watching the clock
12, 2, 4 now 6 watching the sunrise with tears in my eyes
These hours filled with worries for my future praying I don't fail myself
Hours filled with what if's, only if I would've
Hours filled with regrets
Hours searching for the words to say how I feel
Hours Wishing I could pray but I feel as if I've failed the only person who has kept me alive
Man.. I don't know what's next
I want to feel again
I want to live again
I want to care again
Help me
