Lifetime of Sin

My hands are getting sweaty while 
my knees become weak,
and this pain in my chest makes it 
impossible to think.
My brain is spinning in circles that 
keep going around,
as my body continues falling onto 
this unsteady ground.
What's going on inside of my mind?
I'm constantly forgetting what I'm so 
desperate to find.
I'm trying so hard to hide from my 
sadness,
but everywhere I go all I see is 
corruption and madness.
why can't I get through this life and all 
of my scars?
It must be that wish I made on that 
one lucky star.
So now that it's all said and done,
the words that I write consists of the 
ink from my pin,
 and these thoughts that I've turned 
into a lifetime of sin.
