Mourning Skies

Ghost

I wake up each morning

As a ghost with a heart

Going through my day

And acting my part

Show a smile here

Do my homework and then

Once I get home

I'm in the circle again

I lie down in bed

And sleep for a while

Nightmares shake me

Hold me down like I'm vile

But even though I can't rest

I repeat the next day

Just as dull as the last

Wasting the years away

What is this sickness

That takes over my soul

It drags me down

Into another hole

I thought it was over

When I turned in my blade

But I've come to learn

Happiness isn't always forbade

I'm swimming in an ocean

Of my fear and dread

Pull me down with the tide

Let me dream to be dead

But I still wake up

Each morning is hell

I have to learn to smile

And act just as well

Now the voices are gone

The ones that kept me going

Are fading into white noise

As my sanity stops flowing

I lay in bed all week now

I'm not sure if it's night or day

But all I know is

I wish I didn't feel this way
