Counting down-The long game

Lock me in a room for days Suffocating in purple haze Tried so hard to change my ways Catch me from this second chance floor I used the window, but you slammed the door No, holding me close like you did before No use hiding anymore I've been holding it so long I forgot how to breathe I've been waiting so long I forgot how to leave Drag my troubles away Until I forget how to grieve Lost in a maze, you can't help but inveigh Draw your money, I tallied the day Count your blessings, and I'll count your flaws That pinned me down between your claws Now pick my bones out from your jaws And fold our paper life away Tell me now; it's not okay I dragged my troubles away 'Cause I forgot how to grieve

The best way I have ever found to get toxicity out of my life is by writing it out. Hurts, ignored, become catalysts for depression and a devaluation of the human condition. With the infection gone, that is when your mind and soul can finally heal. With light and love <3 A.S.

THANK YOU! Thriveni, that is an incredibly gracious compliment. There are great many things that I write, that I wish I had the skill to put music to. Music inspires me deeply. Finest regards A.S.
