Desolation
Lost in desolation
My mind became a prison map location
It was so very stark
When I couldn't see the light beyond the dark
I'd stumble around until I fell
And hit my head so hard it would swell
And as I was looking at the stars
I could feel the pain of every one of my scars
Like a plague I gave in to depression
And in truth I want to have a heartfelt confession
That my heart has been hurt
And I just wanted somewhere to divert
But instead my soul became bitter
And I became a quitter
Trying to find peace in being alone
When I really just wanted time to atone
But it's hard when you lose the love of your life
And your social life becomes a platform of strife
Every time I got knocked down I forced myself to stand
Bloodied I'd smile every time life gave me the backhand
I became so tired of talking to myself
That I put myself on a shelf
Where nobody could ever reach me
Creating a prison from which I may never be free
But when you look me in the eyes
You'll see a weary soul with no more lies
All I need is a chance
To show I'm ready to dance
And escape my mind that's a prison map location
So I'm no longer lost in desolation
