peace of mind
Sometimes, I wish I was better with people around me
This is how it be.
The world as I see
Dark cloud
My brain is yelling so loud
Never knowing what to say
So lonely today
It is my way
From people I hide
Never does the confusion subside
It's all in my head
But still I know I'm not better off dead
But I see darkness around
Voices cry without a sound
No peace have I found
Lost in plain sight
The rage I fight
Lost in the land of the free
This is how life really be
So alone
No love shown
A little child all grown
Things that to me seem so hard
Leave my soul jared
Sometimes between reality I feel I'm falling
Time is always stalling
Leaving me behind
I pray for peace of mind
None can I find
Hazy
Crazy
Life seems to me
Wish I was free
But I'm not
May my brain rot
Unsure of what next to do
I feel blue
But I force my self to move forward
Ever toward
Over the horizon I seek
My heart is getting weak
On I go
It is all I know
Don't know what I want
But have visions that haunt
Life is a difficult ride
So from it I hide
Feeling everything so deep
For love lost I still weep
The pain is yours to keep
Such a stain
Clouding my brain
Hard to keep a smile
Just not my style
All the while
Wishing for more
Than a one way door
Life must have an exit sign
Searching for an invisible line
That will lead my way
Hopefully I make it through this day
Never the right words to say
Pain
rain
Making my life this stain
Who am I
I cry
Clear my mind
So I can find
Something I left behind
So long ago
That I no longer know
What I hope to find
Except some peace of mind
