Anchored Down

(This song took a while for me to write due to a lot of editing, but it's finished at last! And now, I would like to share it with all of you! Please leave a comment and tell me which parts you liked and which parts I need to improve on.) This disease of wasting time has consumed me… To the highest degree…help me… Now, the view of my happy life is growing dim Because I can’t kiss your lips I sit hopelessly as time haunts me and taunts me Oh so persistently… I let the opportunities that life had to offer Slip out of my finger tips… I turn to face my enemy in the eyes The enemy I call Monstrous Misery… Go away from me since you said your goodbyes Set me free from the lies…that cast away my natural highs I am anchored down by the lack of confidence on my part I need reassurance that everything’s going to be okay Please stay here with me, for I’m a wingless butterfly that longs to depart From the world’s destruction that makes me one with my dismay I miss the times when there were hardly any worries on our minds… I hate dealing with this strange phase… I may be an indolent, pathetic individual, But please give me your forgiveness… I want someone to bring me back on my feet The darkness whips me insane I’m thrown out like an inkless pen…crazed-up all because self-control was hard to gain I can’t stop roaming that lane That lane of madness and shadiness is calling for me again…and again…and again… Comfort me, for I’m blind… I’m pushed in the margins and I’m bleeding out melancholy… Disturbed out of my mind… I’m dealing with my all-too-familiar excruciating anxiety… I turn to face my enemy in the eyes The enemy I call Monstrous Misery… Go away from me since you said your goodbyes Set me free from the lies…that cast away my natural highs I am anchored down by the lack of confidence on my part I need reassurance that everything’s going to be okay Please stay here with me, for I’m a wingless butterfly that longs to depart From the world’s destruction that makes me one with my dismay I miss the times when there were hardly any worries on our minds… I hate dealing with this strange phase… I may be an indolent, pathetic individual, But please give me your forgiveness… I want someone to bring me back on my feet The shapeless shadows of yesterday Have stained my flawless masterpiece of tomorrow… Of that sweet, sun-shining tomorrow… Just carry on and tread the pathway of precious paradise, My weary soul of brief obscurity… The abysmal apprehension vanishes away from me for a little while… I feel a little content, forgetting about my sorrow… Finally feeling strong enough to break away from the abstract abyss I keep on running miles and miles away from the light I have been restless due to the deception of the night I turn to face my enemy in the eyes The enemy I call Monstrous Misery… Go away from me since you said your goodbyes Set me free from the lies…that cast away my natural highs I am anchored down by the lack of confidence on my part I need reassurance that everything’s going to be okay Please stay here with me, for I’m a wingless butterfly that longs to depart From the world’s destruction that makes me one with my dismay I miss the times when there were hardly any worries on our minds… I hate dealing with this strange phase… I may be an indolent, pathetic individual, But please give me your forgiveness… I want someone to bring me back on my feet This disease of wasting time has consumed me… To the highest degree…heal me… Now, the desires of moving forward conquer me This time, I’m walking with fearlessness Facing my fears of giving in to my fretfulness I accept the challenges that life throws at me I am open to the future opportunities, you see? I tried to keep my faith as I ran that race I tried to motivate myself to shine on like the arrival of the dawn Next time, I will fortify my heart with grace Will there be a next time? Please tell me there’s a next time I still have a small fraction of my invincibility All I have to do is live life to the best of my ability
