Avoidance
Avoidance
I sleep to avoid my issues
I drink to achieve the same
I stay up all night
When no-one is around
So as not to face the next day
Every waking hour
A silent torture for me
It is dark and cold
Strangles me with despair and oppression
Trapped in a place I'd rather not be
No light at the end of the tunnel
Phone on silent so I don't have to speak
My mind jammed with troubles
Like a switchboard with wires
Everything looks so bleak
My bills are unopened
I can't bear to face
They say things will get better
But they don't they only get worse
I don't choose to feel so hopeless
I don't want to drink away my fears
The problems get worse
I am desperate to be in a better place
A place that I dream of
When my Angel allows
Walking on sand made of diamonds
Surrounded by peace
Caressed by silence not tortured
Because this silence I want to keep
