still alive;
"When I was just a kid they said
Kid don't you cry
I am older now I say
It's alright
Every tear rollin' down
Is a lesson learned
Are you too old to turn
Are you too young to burn?" - Sonny & the Sunsets
I'm present in the moment, not in "THE PRESENT"
I say I'm fine but to whom am I lying
can I feel the pain, can I escape "THE TORMENT"
I ask someone to see if I'm broken inside, but I myself keep denying.
No matter how much I try, I'm forced to defy
the truths, the lies, the reality, the illusion.
Running, escaping, fighting the demons I held inside
drowning in the worst of me, driving the darkness behind;
Shattering and crashing through these times
crying and ripping my heart out days and nights
will never run dry cuz gotta SURVIVE.
