Every Day I Die
Every morning when I awake
the dream over
then the nightmare begins
And as I regain consciousness
suddenly a dark cloud descends on me
and fills me with pain and dread
deep within.
For each day I face a mountain
one I have to climb
My will and motivation
are so hard to find.
My mind blighted
by a pain I cannot explain
I nothing more than a child that no one wants
left out in the dark
cold and rain.
I live life in limbo
haunted by plaguing memories
Wondering what went wrong
and why I can't be the man I used to be.
Umbilical chord severed
from the human race
without no love in my life
life is such a lonely place.
I just exist never missed
No matter how I try
every day I die.
