Suffer Unto Me
how many times have you woken up to reach for the bottle
how many times have you thought today is the day
sometimes i don't even know what im doing
every path leads me to nowhere
still i have no direction in life but does not society say that by now i should
i wish i could just run away but i know that once i get there i will only have to run
away again
for it is in me
this suffering and pain
this hate and loss and feelings of failure
i am unable to imagine my epitaph
the seeds of my soul have yet to flower
will they ever or are they destined to rot
like me
i cannot even hide inside myself anymore
though my intentions are pure
i have lost
