Getting through each day is hard
Problems poke at every turn
My will keeps getting smaller
No spare energy to burn
I'm not sure which direction to take
Trying to figure it out
I decide on one
Take one step forward
Then am halted in my tracks by doubt
To go somewhere far away from here
Is my most pressing desire
Get a few miles nearer to escape
Then retreat as soon as I tire
Out of my mind with hopeless greif
Making it difficult to navigate
Dragging my feet along this winding road
Distance closing between me and fate
