It was yellow like the sun
And dandelions by the pond
In the middle of the new hope of spring
It swallowed me whole
I let it steal all of my control
Until I had become positively nothing
The blood trickles down
Across lips frozen in a frown
Broadcasting the sad signs of suffering
Anything just to get to sleep
Just be mindful not to cut too deep
Or the side effects will start to become troubling
Making sure that nobody suspects
Your friends don't know what to expect
Barely able to just keep on living and functioning
I need help, I know I can't keep this up
I feel my will being drained, I'm out of luck
Trying to survive, nothing but constant struggling
I have keep going, I have to at least try
If I don't fix this soon, I may just possibly die
My life is slipping away, my condition is worsening
I have to live to see another new day
I can't just let the beautiful gift of life slip away
I will persevere, I will succeed, no matter how challenging
