Cold

Sometimes it gets so cold

I'm frozen in place

It's like my mind's on hold

While the world's on it's fast pace


And I feel like I can't breathe

Like I'm choking on my own tears

And at myself I seethe

Cause I can't be my usual cheer


I wish I could break out of this prison

Constructed by my own mind

But I can't find a reason

To break out of this bind


All I want is a warm breeze

For summer sun to shine

I need it before I fall to my knees

I don't want to lie when I say I'm fine


But I don't see any real hope

I'm gonna freeze to my death

Maybe I'll fall off the tightrope

And then I'll take my last breath

Sometimes the future looks bleak and grey. I dream about things I know I'll never achieve and I all I can think about is my past failures. And then I start feeling cold from the inside out, and the world around me freezes. Only me and failures exist. I can't get any work done, I can't talk to people, I can't comfort myself. I get back up, only to fall back down, again and again. Maybe I fall back down because the reason to stand up isn't always that important to me. I'm not sure yet. All I know is that I'm walking on this path called Life, and it's really cold right now
