Losing My Mind
At a time in my life when things are quite rough
I try to think of all the happy and joyful stuff
But NO, fate comes and bites me right in my ass
I hold all feelings in, I don't flinch, I don't spaz.
What have I done? Besides try to overcome
The hardship of life and be a hard-working son
Full of talent? Yea right, I seem more like a waste
To bring burden to a family and bring regret and haste
The timing calls for a 'Time of Desperation'
So I've put myself into Isolation!
The safest place is to the side
Still in the open there is no use or place to hide!
My last cry out in sadness came in September of last year
Never have I cried so long so hard, I think I ran out of tears.
God as my witness, I will continue on injured and strong
Yes this journey that is life, is treacherous and long!
