Second Best

Screaming through the halls

Bashing out the walls

This creature is trying to take over

Depression like a knife

Kills me and what little life

I struggle to take cover

I don't wanna be bitter and broken

This can't be my only token

To show what i have done

I want to finally see

All the good in humanity

Instead of being hurt on the run

Don't kick me while I'm down

I'm not your psycho clown

Presenting to you insanity

There is still magic in these fingers

If only i could find what still lingers

in the background of the morgue waiting patiently

For something to die

I need a reason why

Why can't I feel your touch

Maybe I'm too lost

I didn't foresee the cost

And this burden is way to much

So if you're really there

Please show me that you care

And free me from this self made cell

Because lately I've been afraid

You're a fantasy that i made

TO make life seem better then hell

And i don't want to live if life's a dream

There must be more then it seems

I don't' want to be lost in a see of faces

I want to know I'm OK

I wanna hear you say

That i am better then all these disgraces

The red hashes on my arm

Only bring me much more harm

And i need to find a place of rest

So please show me a glimpse

of something better than this

I need something better than second best...

    This was powerful and deserves a lot of praise for the pain and tears within. Hey many online friends would always be there for you of this I’m sure and many would always open their arms and hearts to you. Always remember there is a brighter future ahead and an end to all pain and happiness hiding in wait for you, in all things.
