Soulful Words From A Broken Spirit

Overcome

I can't deal with the echoes in my head,
Hearing my chaos spread,
Pushing me towards that ledge,
Trying to recite my pledge

I can't deal with the terror that haunts me,
Making me feel reclusive and oh so lonely,
Pretending to be my friend knowing that it's phony,
Holding on to my sanity by a wire thats scrawny,

I can't deal with the images of you passing,
Would much rather remember you laughing,
Instead of hurt, shocked, and gasping,
I can't take this life I'm living tragic,

I can't take faking this smile,
Hiding behind my mask of denial,
Calling myself a man yet feeling like a child,
Feeling so alone with no one left to dial,

I can't deal with the stress of this all,
Feeling excessive anger punching holes in this wall,
Crying out for help but nobody answers the call,
On a path of destruction destined to take a fall,

I can't deal with all these problem circling on my brain,
Wanting to become better, wanting to make a change,
Holding on to my sanity really going insane,
Stuck in inside my head simple and plain.

I overcame these feelings to become who I am today. Life isn't easy but you have to fight to change what you don't like.
