There are days I long to feel, Death's cold fingers around my neck.

There are mornings I wake up to, and I take my pulse to check.

There are evenings where I lie down, and wish I'd never rise.

There are afternoons of hatred, where my inner conscience cries.

There are midnights where I can't sleep, so I watch for that hellish glint.

There are nights I never sleep for fear, that I'd miss that blackened hint.

There are dreams I dream of oceans, which carry me away.

There are nightmares of my day times, and I don't know where to stay.

Pain Inside

This maybe a little explicit. Just wanted to vent about feelings I had in the past. I sometimes worry it'll all come back when times get hard. I'm sitting here alone and quiet.

"Sorry, didn't see her!"

For so long, I've been so low, Fighting hard to get my knees off the floor, Stinging tears, Creep down my face, I said that nothing can be done or can be changed, I lie awake, Until I'm numb, Because...
