Sanity

I'm screaming,

I'm crying,

but no one can hear.

I'm trying,

but no one really cares,

they only see me

failing.

I'm trying,

I swear.

It's hard to breath,

hard to hear,

but I don't really care.

My hands shake,

My breathing is not all that there,

And all I care about

Is the next drink I can take.

Because when everything's going south,

The only thing that's really there

Is the bottle.

I don't wanna try,

I don't wanna cry.

Normal is hard,

But I am trying,

I swear.

How can I be like everyone else?

When the demons in my head play tug of war,

Like devils and angels on my shoulder

But the angel's no longer there.

My hand's hurt from being tugged,

Split in two,

Who ever knew who I am?

Who am I?

I'm Screaming,

I'm crying

But no one can hear,

He shut the door to the outside world

Along time ago.

He threw away the key,

And I kissed sanity

Goodbye.
