That's life

From years in the making
to
I don't know what I'm doing

all in the blink of an eye.

One last dream

You dream of a future
You dream of growing up

Then you grow up
And you realize its no dream
It’s a nightmare

A Fraud

Maybe I’m not enough.
Cool enough
Pretty enough
Smart enough
Good enough
Maybe I’m fooling myself
Or maybe worse,
I’m fooling everyone else along with me.

Open Wounds

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I’m laying in bed,
And I’m thinking of you.

A knife in the back,
Years down the drain.
Yet you keep coming back,
A fresh round of pain.

Alone

One path in life
And you’re not on it.

The more they try to pull you back,
The further away you go.

Eventually they give up
So you walk alone.

Irony

Isn't it ironic that
We fight for peace?
That we **** murderers?
That we'd do anything to live when we already know we're going to die?

Light at the End of the Tunnel

Nothings wrong but nothings right,
I've been walking this tunnel,
but there's still no light.
The pace is slowing down,
I'm just so over this fight
