Stay Awake

Often staying low in the crowd But often awake Not comfortable but i try to be thoughts start to come in and Starting to question everything and regret my every sin So it starts with Like what will I do tomorrow But as time passes by thoughts escalate Till I’m drowning in my sorrow Remembering all my failures Even details of what I did wrong After hours of recalled pain convincing myself that I don’t belong Ending up feeling isolated like the silence of my night will never end I feel like I will never escape There’s too much I just can’t mend Everything Everyone’s Tearing me apart Just needs to ask myself Why I can’t I put myself back together Put myself in the crowd, but I am Often staying low, in the crowd But often awake Battling myself Battling thoughts Each time Every day. So, I am Often staying low in the crowd But often awake
