Why
Why does the pain never seem to end?
Every time I see a light at the end of a tunnel,
It turns out to be fire that is brightly burning
Yet another bridge charred to prevent escape.
Every damn time,
must I wait until all the bridges are burned
Before I can visualize my end?
Like hell
Like hell I'll wait!
I know that my mind is playing tricks on me.
I know this, but...
I just can't seem to find the trickster in my head
A screw must be loose somewhere,
Nothing can be trusted in this place
nothing!
Not even the ground beneath my feet.
If this pain is going to kill me,
let it be over already
I just want peace!
Please...
Someone...anyone...
save me.
Save me from the darkness in my mind!
Save me from the cries of anguish I hear from the voices in my head!
Save me...
from myself
