Sitting all alone
Trapped inside my mind
Nowhere to run and hide
Scared of what I might find.
Get me out of here
Away from this oppression
I just want to be free
From this black dog depression.
Tried to find a cure
In a bottle of pills
Now I'm lying in a hospital bed
With nothing but my ills.
I failed to live
And now I've failed to die
I just want it to end
I can't live this lie.
Slap on a smile
Force a laugh
Plot my next attempt
And write my epitaph.
Don't give up on your dream
Isn't that what they say?
Well what if my dream
Is to slip away?
Into the night
Gone forever
Silence my thoughts
With my last endeavour.
Now I'm gone
My pain has ceased
For my loved ones left behind
The suffering increased.
Is it a selfish act?
Desperate I'd say
But the torment you suffer
Never really goes away.
To the next in line
It gets passed on
To battle the demons
And live life's con.
