Misery Mayhem

Give me something to numb the pain. Sinking in quick sand. Slowly driving me insane. Been strung out on painkillers all day. Just had a pillow fight with a genie, but she left so quickly, I couldn’t catch her name. The room is spinning. I feel so strange. God give me strength. Everything is so heavy. It’s all a distraction. Nothing really takes away the shame. Been sleepwalking for weeks on end. No drug on earth can take away this curse. You all tell me the same damn thing. No one can take away this misery. The Mayhem of misery is my curse. I’m so tired. So tired of living. But I can’t give in. There’s no one to help me… Excuse me I have a prior engagement. Deep down its nothing but a lie. Am I only here for your mere entertainment? They never seem to make the effort to try. I can’t take it anymore.
