How do you expect to heal as you rip open your scars again? How can you dwell on the past when your future is today, here, in front of you? Am. I. Not. Good. Enough?

Emotions like poison eating away at me fight fire with fire Drown them in whiskey Baptized by the throat burning trying to fight off hell rising like a ship in bad seas, one shove away from capsizing Suddenly I feel cold despite anger raging hot I hate competing with someone for something i am not Fight fire with fire Fulfill my drinking desire my emotions are a mudslide and I drown in the ire Saved by the whiskey, the burning in my throat im rotting away inside because of the thing I hate most Fight Fire... With Fire

A beleaguered mind behind placid eyes This stoic facade is my disguise There's a pain I cannot fully verbalize Impossible to rationalize or make you realize My emotions run deep, that much is true They are the reason for my heart's grand coup Its fighting my mind, making me blind Makes me want to run scared of an attack from behind It consumes my thoughts and fuels my fears Its a battle I feel I'm losing and it brings me to tears I feel the loss of control taking a hold over me And its my darkest thoughts that say they'll set me free Make me free? I want to believe Because after it all who would really miss me? Nobody knows of my pain, driving me insane Spreading like cancer throughout my brain I try to reach for help but the doors keep closing Its a living night terror and this world is a show screen There's no wake up or brake up from this terror existing My thoughts told me how to end it - drop from a building Kiss that pavement, make a statement, go out nice and quick Because dealing with my problems makes me always feel sick My head's always in the toilet I'm a walking disappointment I'm so afraid to face myself, I missed my psychiatrist appointments

Black figments flitting in the corners of my mind. Shadows fluttering and swelling on the winds of memory, pressing and closing about me. Darkness, blinding and choking the light I struggled to gain. I see blinding light, shredding shadow and opening the world, saving me from myself. Your eyes.

Saving Light

Black figments flitting in the corners of my mind. Shadows fluttering and swelling on the winds of memory, pressing and closing about me. Darkness, blinding and choking the light I struggled to gain. I see blinding light, shredding shadow and opening the world, saving me from myself. Your eyes.
