Can’t shake this feeling That it’s not the same Infected sickness Covered with dull pain A rabid werewolf I’m trying to tame Almost off the leash I tug at the reigns Hold on with sheer will Have nothing to gain
My efforts; A joke Fighting a freight train Through grit teeth I smile Demeanor I feign Failure coming soon My life, one more stain
Lost sight of it all To what it pertains I am sinking down Spinning in the drain An endless battle Forever the bane Of my existence
No longer I’m sane………
