Bottled Up Inside

as the days go by the racing thoughts wont stop
it comes to the point where i can feel my heart drop
past memories tearing me apart
who knows if i will ever have a fresh start
something has died inside of me and its probably my heart
i grow colder and colder thinking wen will this all stop
flashbacks and im stuck in thought
who would of even known i would fall apart
i can hear the screams echoing in my mind
pain in my stomache and the thoughts of him inside me arent so kind
put the gun to my head and they have taken all i got
why god why me whhy wont this stop
i guess i made this life who knowws what will be next
im sick of the ex n the perverted men offering money for sex
how could i ever respect?
wishful men walking in the door hoping for a score
but when they cross my path i give them my all leaving myself feeling like a foolish 
whore
in my mind i think ive won \
taking everything, even there funds
i sold my soul to the devil
and im trying to buy it back
believe me when i say i been to hell and back...

once bitten, twice shy. thoughts found expression in words. even though its your life, you are better than that, created for bigger things, its never late. so start from a fresh new page, move on. nice work
