Perhaps
It’s been a while since I last wrote
With my demons at bay I’ve started to cope
Yet still there are times when the rays of hope
Fail to shine through the clouds I coax
This isn't bad nor is this the end
But another passing of a passed done trend
Of mine I once owned but now I borrow
Of the sadness of others… I feel so hollow
To the point when remedies bring back the loop
Of times i’ve survived and didn't want to live through
There is no message in the words you read
Just a sad young man wanting to be heard
Through an invisible audience I crave to need
With the acknowledgement of the unknown I make myself be heard
The battles we face against the mightiest of foe
Have left me damaged with feelings so low
The greatest of threat comes from within
When your mind turns against you it seems impossible to win
Yet win you must in order to live on
If i’d just given up i’d definitely be gone
I’d have to slit my wrists or O.D instead
To have all my struggles slain and put to rest
Sadly however I continue to fight
To see the light of another day, takes all my might
