Torn

Drenched in incapability...

...The signature of stress...

...with diversion crippled by distraction...

...This failure to be one's best...

...Confusion dictates sustainability...
...Common sense redress...

... Unreliability you accept without regret?

...Observation cruel...

...You believe no cure...

...As you allow yourself to sink below...
...further great depth...

...Yet your confidence stealth - blind...

...Many circled in your cry...

...You gave up - You gave in...

...And now you pay the price...

...Face your demons they're on the rise...

...They have torn you in two...

...and now they monopolise...
...somewhere inside of you...

...You somehow forgot to believe...

...To help yourself...

...To help yourself...

...Will some day set you free...
