Confusion In My Brain

Do I trust them and show them my phoniness,

Or trust no one and live in loneliness,

I can’t hold on,

There’s too much pain,

With thoughts of suicide in my brain,

Confusing my every action,

I wish it were a simple chore to face my demons,

One man shouldn’t be alone,

Should I fight the pain? Or surrender my arms?

Do I trust them? Or live in loneliness?

My feelings can’t be right, someone give me the courage to fight,

Or I will be sucked into this maelstrom of pain.
