I am tired of being paranoid to stay alive The paranoia is like a cell My thoughts buzz like a hive I am trapped in my own hell Depression is the bolt on the door Nightmares are the guard Beating me until I am crying on the floor Until my soul is scarred My anxiety is the shackles on my wrists Cutting into my skin Why does it hurt to exist But there are sprinkles of hope within My will struggles to prevail I keep trying to make progress Eventually the pain will look small in scale Eventually there will be happiness in excess

I am tired
I am tired of being paranoid to stay alive The paranoia is like a cell My thoughts buzz like a hive I am trapped in my own hell Depression is the bolt on the door Nightmares are the guard Beating me until I am crying on the floor Until my soul is scarred My anxiety is the shackles on my wrists Cutting into my skin Why does it hurt to exist But there are sprinkles of hope within My will struggles to prevail I keep trying to make progress Eventually the pain will look small in scale Eventually there will be happiness in excess
