Drawn into a darkness of peace
An overwhelming sense of caution
There is in the mind much despair
But the heart is searching for healing
Not knowing where it comes from
This demon inside is drowning hope
While taking away the breath of joy
Feeling smothered in a pit of gloom
How does one overcome the unknown
The shadow of darkness as a friend
That has created chaos, a gift with a smile
Sinking deeper than comes escape
Physical pain being a reality
The screams that are being screamed inside
No one looks in the eyes to hear
*Medicate
Drink to escape
Medicate
Drink to escape*
Still the day comes once again
It starts over and over and over.............
