In This Dark Corner

In this dark corner Of this dark room, I sit in the shadows, I sit in the doom. I see a light, A light right ove there, I cannot reach it. No longer its there. In this large group, Of people I love, I feel so alone, Like everyones above. This isnt a choice, Of choices its not. To be sad and depressed I just think a whole lot. Through my mind runs some thoughts, Thoughts of rough times, The times times of great hurt, The times of great crimes. Crimes done unto me Seems jail would be fitting. "Oh stop being sad, Your overreacting." Though stopping I cant, Its not my control. I guess I can try. Cause its getting old. If your life is bad, Well, heck, so is mine. If yours is so bad Keep down, dont shine. I'm scared for us all. For the world that is. We are all dead, Only a few people live. No one can change. Not even me. Cause lifes filled with misery, hurt, death, not glee. Listen up now, I have something to say. If this all is ending, Its ending today. In this dark corner, Of this dark room, I sit in the shadows, I sit in the doom.
