Death is around me
From the dying leaves
To the dying family
Too much sickness
Too much tragedy
It surrounds me
Hold my head up
But the weight of the world
Pushes me down
Slash the pain
That haunts me
Make it scream like it did to me
World keeps spinning
And I stand still
Waiting for a chance to spin too
Juggle my emotions
Drop happiness
On accident
Watch myself fall
Beneath the covers
Of exhaustion
Grab hold of the reigns
Learn to use them
First time, fails
Try again,
Grab the reigns
again and again
Until I get it right
Until I succeed
In reigning in this negativity
Maybe the first time doesn't work
But I keep trying
I don't want to be another tragedy
