Sucking My Life Away

Sucking My Life Away When you say untrue things about me You never attempt to see The hurt in my eyes Or hear my cries. Because by your words you cut my progress Take away my enthusiasm for success. Your taunts and insults invade my spirit Making it spiral into a bottomless pit Your meaness and your anger Put my soul in danger I try to survive Not forever being able to hide Fighting you with fists or ignorance Doesn’t give me a better stance Because you keep coming back harder and harder Making the crowd against me larger and larger. Until my life is sucked away You make it unbearable for me to stay It’s get harder day by day I’ve tried and I’ve cried out. In the principals office I even shout That I can’t bare any more Today they pushed me out the door In my mind I’ve seen peace on the other side Where I don’t have to hide From the criticizers and teasers And the bullying crowd pleasers I cry out in dismay From the sorted and ruthless way You’ve sucked my life away I’m crying and pleading to you To stop but you don’t have a clue That I silently disappear Inch by inch the more you’re near I know I should be strong But tell me how long Can my mind and body fend you off You stick to me like a bad cough No where is safe, not even home What do I have to do to make you leave me a lone Now it’s too late I’m just a shadow of gray Because you’ve finally sucked my life away.
