Yelling to the sky


I feel like I'm fighting a vacant war
Someone please open up the door
I'm tryna break free
Seems like the darkness is getting stronger 
and it's only out to  take me
Look at this mess now
Tryna be strong but it's a lot of stress now 
And everytime I get alone it never fails it just hits me and I be feeling all depressed damn
Last night I cried 
I nearly drowned In my tears I thought I died 
Then I got on my knees and prayed to god 
impatient cause still no reply
I'm breathing heavy as pain starts to increase I'm unsteady 
I'm feeling fire at my feet but my head still to the clouds no way it's going down until I'm ready
I'm screaming out loud
How many tears will have to fall before you help me out 
I can't bare it 
I'm being judged why is everyone just staring
Problems that disappeared are reappearing 
It's my life and I know I'm the one steering 
So I guess it's up to me
I gotta stand up be strong and just believe 
Everything will be okay it's all a test 
And at the end of the day it was all for the best
