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
