I Broke Down
I broke down
tears streamed down my face
screams inside my head on repeat
there's no way I can beat
monsters in my mind
they're on full-time
I don't ever get a break
they just want me to fall
down; covered in sound
in the back of my mind
there never seems to be time
my thoughts are getting hazy
I try to shut off my brain
there's just to much pain
to much to try and forget
So I stand in the rain
and let water pour out of my eyes
The rain is my disguise
it hides my tears
and washes away my fears
I no longer ignore it
or try to destroy it
I finally am letting myself feel pain
because I know there's always more to gain
I'll drown my demons in my tears
of acceptance of the fact
Free of the monsters for a day
I smile and laugh until tomorrow
then I'll do it all over again
