Today Is Just Another Day

Today is just another day, of the horror movie I call my life; 
I feel I've let things slip away, I feel buried by daily strife. 
I find myself lost in thoughts, unable to take a breath; 
Today is just another day, I'm one step closer to death. 

I wish that I could find some peace, and get some needed rest; 
Instead I feel uneasy inside, like my life is one big test. 
I try to turn to heartfelt prayer, and open up my heart; 
Today is just another day, deeper I sank from the start. 

What will tomorrow hold? How will I feel when I awake? 
How much more can I endure? How much more can I take? 
I feel I have hit the bottom, how much deeper can I go? 
Today is just another day, to feel the pain I've come to know.
