Run Ragged

I'm starting to feel worn out and dragged along

With each passing day now feeling more wrong

All the effort I've spent, trying to chase the crumbs you've left me

I feel myself falling deeper into a hole you won't catch me from 

I'm left waiting, and wanting for things that will never come

And yet I wonder if I deserve to be angry 

If I deserve to feel anything at all  

You could drop scraps at my feet and I would scramble to catch them 

But to give you a feast, you'd only share brief pause 

So I wonder, and I have lost so many nights of sleep over a fool's question and a wiseman's answer

Why do I continue to humor such idiocy? Such idealism?

Because I simply fail to learn, and now I'm fighting myself 

Between a fantasy and a harsh reality 

Between my mind and insanity
