Thoughts
Hold it in.
Shut it down.
Tell the world to go away.
Fake a laugh
Force a smile
Just to make it through the day.
Say my prayers,
Say goodnight,
And maybe I'll never wake.
Holding on,
Staying Strong,
And with luck I will not break.
And it hurts.
And it burns.
Now it's tearing me apart.
In a haze,
In a dream,
And I'm not sure where to start.
Don't need help.
Don't need friends.
I am better off alone.
Three floors up;
So far down.
After that, I'll hit the stone.
Life's a joke.
I don't care.
This is what I'm meant to be.
All men die;
Death is truth.
And the Truth will set me Free.
