Free-For-All

Free-for-all

                                I’m wasting my days on this earth
                               Every day goes by just as the same
                        My anxiety is so high when I leave the house
                        My heart pounds and pounds out of my chest
                            I breath deep but it hurts nevertheless
                               Only place I feel safe is in my nest
                                     Cooped up like a jail bird
                            No feathers for freedom that’s absurd
                         Can’t leave the house or answer the phone
                              I get anxiety by looking at women
                           Thinking about death or nothing at all
                                 I’ll let you in on a little secret:
                            In my head it’s a constant free-for-all
                      Everyones fighting and everyones screaming
                       Tedious thing is I’m the only one breathing
                        It only gets deeper and it only gets faster
                  Left arm starts hurting and my heart beats louder
                           Thump thump thump is all I can hear
                               Paper bag! Theres not one near
                      No one understands they think its ridiculous
                        Face death you cowards and all his militia
                        I just want it to end I just want it to stop
                      Live a normal life where my head just stops
                Where I can stop thinking and I can stop breathing
                     Life is precious is what they say but its funny;
                    Because they don’t wake up every day fearing
                No! Now is when I take control now is when it stops
                          Blade to the wrist I’ll have faced death
                           Once and for all no more free-for-all

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
