Illusion

"The Illusion" Laying here so sad and so lost, Feel like I'm in a battle against myself and theres always a cost. Delusions fill my head sometimes I'm better not here, Endless nights of crying all these lonely tears. Looking for a way out of this hole, It keeps getting darker like I'm losing my-self being,my soul. Running thoughts keep going through my head, Wondering if I'd be better off dead. No-one cares,they all have selfish acts, Everyone is out for themselves,my ropes too short give me some slack. Finally I came to this last conclusion, Nothings what it seems it's just one "big illusion". Giving your all just to get knocked on the ground, Looking for your friends support,but they are never around. Screaming for salvation,but no-one hears my voiceless cries, Darkness shadows my heart and the love continues to die. Don't like being with my back against the wall, Feel like I'm just a failure,people waiting for me to fail and fall. Reading between the lines,I see I'm on my own, Don't know up from down, My worlds full of pain,tears,and frowns. Can I find an escape to this craziness in my head, Or am I stuck in limbo battling the sick and demented me, Cause you broke me down you left me blind, I'm lost I cannot see. Fighting for my dignity and trying to find the strength, I'm willing to do it all, I'll go that extra length. Strength and Courage is prevailing I'm starting to see the light, I'm gonna give it my all and never end this fight. Life is full of the unknowns,we never know whats down the road, But we never give up,for everyone has a different story to be told.
