A Lesson Learned
I need happy cheerful thoughts
Somehow I got deeply caught
In a spiral of darkness
Swirling into deep sharpness
Sinking me lower until
My heart body and souls filled
With so much pain I start to drown
Too far gone to turn around
Stuck in this vortex of pain
Slowly driving me insane
Circling in my own crap
I'm about to finally snap
Weighed down by my past mistakes
Crushing me until I break
Tightly tied down, no escape
Every minute I am draped
With the cost of never knowing
How my feelings should be showing
Not buried down in a prison
I was clouded by the vision
If I didn't get advice
From others, it would be nice
Not to bother anyone
With problems, I bit my tongue
Working it out on my own
But it made my life get blown
Into pieces of disaster
My sanity going faster
Than I could reel it in
Lessons learned too late again
