Admitting it.

by ThatPeteKing

I've always tried to take life by the reins; It's always been my instinctive reaction, That if demons knocked upon my door, I'd sprint towards distraction. And if they dragged me down to hell, I'd stare Satan straight in the face. I'd square up to the beast, flip the bird to defeat, I'd say "Fuck you, Satan! Not today!" But sometimes your courage fails you, Sometimes your legs get sore, You want to punch and kick and run like hell, But sometimes you can't fight any more. No human can run forever, But demon's can and they'll never quit. But the only thing harder than being unwell, Is finding the strength to admit it. Well, here goes nothing.
