Deep End
Staring at the blank walls
You think of the what ifs
The what it could be,
The why it happened
You’re stuck
Stuck in a battle of the past
Begging for peace
Begging for a way out
Staring into the distance
You make yourself distant
Having feelings of failure
Feelings of guilt
Bringing thoughts to give up
Hoping you can just give in
Feeling you’ll never win
Not knowing where you fit
Wanting to jump off the deep end
Unable to control the anger within
When you’ve fallen
When control feels lost
Searching for hope
Lost in a painful memory
Hoping for a way to let someone in
Wanting the pain to subside again
Aching for a second chance
Staring at the blank walls
A hard battle that won’t be effortless
Remembering there will always be a reason to fight
A chance to conquer
Past the demons plaguing within.
