Well I'm crashing, barely breathing The feeling I've lost all control On the driver's seat, but who's driving? I'm sitting slowly losing my soul You told me it would get better Told me to give it some time. Is it time enough now though, Now that I'm bleeding out in rhyme Flipping over and over again While broken shards of memories lost Burn through my bleeding brain. Crashing and turning over again While sounds of sirens drown me out Driving me insane Yet the impossible promises never stop "You're going to be okay" I'm gasping and drowning for air While you're begging me to stay So close to the end And I never felt more alive I just took a shortcut out Of this never-ending drive "...in a major accident..." And the voices are drowned out by chimes Because the only mistake I ever made Was struggling to live all this time So what's so bad about that? I'l never see the finish line But there was nothing waiting for me there anyway Except a simple "dead end" sign

Accidentally Alive
Well I'm crashing, barely breathing The feeling I've lost all control On the driver's seat, but who's driving? I'm sitting slowly losing my soul You told me it would get better Told me to give it some time. Is it time enough now though, Now that I'm bleeding out in rhyme Flipping over and over again While broken shards of memories lost Burn through my bleeding brain. Crashing and turning over again While sounds of sirens drown me out Driving me insane Yet the impossible promises never stop "You're going to be okay" I'm gasping and drowning for air While you're begging me to stay So close to the end And I never felt more alive I just took a shortcut out Of this never-ending drive "...in a major accident..." And the voices are drowned out by chimes Because the only mistake I ever made Was struggling to live all this time So what's so bad about that? I'l never see the finish line But there was nothing waiting for me there anyway Except a simple "dead end" sign
A poem I dug up from about a year ago but still gets my feelings right today (Front page 4/15/17)
