Isolation in the barren wasteland
Breathing dust
Exhaling oxygen
Running low
Exhaustion setting in

Your heart gets heavy and you say lets do it again
Unable to raise a white flag to your good friend
your mind continues its destruction from within

Excessive thoughts and troublesome plights the enemy continues its rampage through the night
Strength unbearable impossible to fight
Incarcerating you to the prison that is your mind

We grew up in an era changing
with technology and opportunities full
of growing suicidal thoughts and new perspectives
The struggle for independence
as self thought fills our minds
we ask how can we be ourselves
when everyone expects us to be
someone else

We range from mindful decision to mindless diffusion
Marching in step to others' lives
Stray from the path and follow a new storyline
Write your book creating your own demise

My breath gets caught
hands shake
Everything feels as if it's collapsing
and in realizing it was only me
The world still
as it was
I feel *small
