Bitter Melody

Bleeding inside waking every morning hungry Still committed to the grind too many are dependent upon me two jobs Barely holding on bills are forever in my face collections call awaken violence Twelve hours a day my faith crumbles dripping away in sweat Afraid to be seen crying holding so much inside there is far too much baggage This is by far so wrong held down laughed at Pretending to be strong but hurting inside keeping the truth a secret Everyday dying a little inside life seems to pass me by my words unspoken Feeling as in a storm shelter is hard find frustration becomes my tears My pain a bittersweet melody played twelve hours a day Always wanting more this too seems like nightmares hoping to live through the moment
