Questions

Why is it that I feel this everlasting pain 
And that there is no hope in this world
Why is it that I have so much to gain
But yet I can’t seem to get a grip on it

Why do I feel this deep feeling of emptiness
Ever drowning in it grasps of evil and sorrow
I can’t seem to move on 
I can’t seem to let go

Feelings that come and go 
Then I think there gone for good
But they always seem to break through and show
Victims of my suffocating words of demise
How can I shut someone down with hate
And yet I give people advice
It’s not there fault
But why do I make them pay the price

Why is this devil playing with my head, heart, soul, my existence
I’m a slave to the black bitter darkness 
And it always over powers my resistance

Why do I hurt the ones I love
I hate to feel this devastation
Why do they still love me
I don’t deserve it
Yet I still receive it without hesitation

What have I turned into
I don’t have a clue
Looking at my reflection
And I don’t know what to do

Why am I still alive
After all the bruises, scars, and burns 
I have endured
On this hell ride of a journey called life

I just want to be normal
I just want to be happy
I want to feel flawless
And feel that victory over this evil is mine to claim and no more to blame
