Feelings
Every day when I wake up
I feel ashamed my time isn't over
Every night when I go to sleep
I hope I never wake up
Every conversation I have I pray to end soon
Except the ones I have with you
The ones where we laugh and smile
Make it feel like it may be worthwhile
But alas once your gone
So is my joy, stuck to you
Although it may seem like a waste
I pray my life ends with haste
Even as our struggles grow
I find it harder to withstand each blow
The people say it's not that bad
They point, laugh, and call me mad
Each word cuts into me, like a thorn
They make me wish, and beg for a quick death
But they float away, like a lost breath
A forgotten wind being carried away
My pain seems to grow each day
Maybe I will fade away
But I remain in this place
Though I've fallen from grace
