Another day passes
Into night I fall
Helplessly driven forward
Upon this lonely road

Existence is not sweet
The black clouds gather
Friends are not friends
Pictures become pain

Mind wandering around
Setting a pace for the night
Numbing the wound
Tears seep from within

I am my enemy
Inner me knows no bounds
Push through all the joy
Drag around the agony

Time does not matter
Eyelids swollen shut
Older than most
Really known to few

Pull the music in
Breathe the anger out
Retreat into Dreamspace
Solace with sleep

"I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's different
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."
by Stabbing Westward

This is very sad, Wikket   I can relate to this. There was a period in my life when all I looked forward to was that sweet escape of sleep. You have described it well.

Yes, perfectly.

I was there too - you really got to the heart of this.
