Breakdown

The world is crashing
Coming down around me
I scream from the lashing
The torture I'm enduring

I want to drift away
Or be beneath the dirt
No matter what they say
I want to escape

I can't handle it all
The issues, the pressure
I feel like this isn't my call
Was I this sorely mistaken?

Did I make the right choice?
Was it all for naught?
I can no longer use my voice
For it has no meaning

I wish I were free
To feel the lush sense of ease
if only I could be
it is but a dream

For the real world
It is no such pipedream
A harsh realm in which I've been hurled
My life unfolds with more wrinkles everyday

A series of quakes
Rock my life
With them a heart breaks
Starting a brutal breakdown

I turn to a friend
Who shows me redemption
With me to the end
Offering a little peace of mind
