9-This Life

 

Sometimes in this life

things get hard to face

I'd like to disappear

without leaving a trace

 

I have no escape

nothing I can do

I can't hide from me

when I'm tired of the view

 

Drugs aren't an option

drinks make me sick

I know of nothing

that will do the trick

 

So through depression

sadness and tears

I am stuck with myself

despite all my fears

 

I have no means

to get any rest

So I sit and cry

since it's what I do best

 

I smile through my tears

when I am so blue

I push down my pain

what else can I do

 

Where I am right now

is not where I want to be

I hope one day soon

from these chains I'll be free

    I like this, it's kind of how I feel at the moment too, though sometimes I drink to take the pain away, which yeah sometimes makes things worse. Well wrote though, it's like my anthem.

    SUCH ANGUISH!!!

    It is a sad, sad thing that in todays society more and more people come to feel these exact same feelings. Where will it end? Hopefully there will be an end soon.
