Keeping everything at bay
Forcing the smiles to stay
Why is it so hard to disagree
When every inch of my being agrees

Pitch black darkness is all I see
The brightness of the light I can never foresee
What is expected to be left
When hope is not even there

Desperate to drink an ounce of happiness
Even though it produces another liter of agony
Why is the world so cruel
To an undeserving person like *me
