The Deadly Silence

I can’t be alone anymore

My own thoughts are out to get me.

It’s getting worse than ever before…

One day my demons will get free.

Living the life of another, I don’t know what’s real

This can’t be all there is to life!

Yet another day my body has rejected a meal.

Rather fill the hole you left with a knife.

Digging my own grave,

Each day it gets a little deeper.

In my own body I’ve become a slave.

This mountain I climb seems to get steeper

I’m not even sure why I lasted this long,

I don’t remember what it’s like to be happy

I haven’t had a reason in a while to stay strong.

I guess that’s why I always come off snappy.

I sit here in silence while my mind spins,

Giving me a hundred reasons why you should leave.

And in the end my mind always wins,

And I’m left alone again, with nothing but grief.

I’m sorry I’m broken, sad, and depressed,

I don’t mean to add onto your pressure,

I don’t mean to make you more stressed.

Remind me I’m enough, sometimes I need a refresher.

The silence is killing me,

I can’t be alone another moment,

I’ll stay as long as I can take baby,

It’s hard when your mind is your greatest opponent.
