Greetings to my old friend, pain The decending darkness, back again Pins and needles down my spine Body aching from life's design The light has never known my name 'though others helped, only me to blame Hell is life, here on Earth It's been this way, since my birth I scream out a silent prayer "Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!" Although I try to stand in the light Against past demons, I lose my fight I am drowning in despair Grasping, gasping, just for air Again I scream my silent prayer "Help me please! I'll do better, I swear!" Life and all it's misery, keeps rushing on ahead I strive to keep up but may as well take to bed This life has exhausted me and taken all my light All that remains of me is my smile and caustic bite Some think I'm bitter but this is not the case I am just a realist, my experiences, my base Those who've only seen the light, will never understand Their eyes can't adjust, to the twilight of this dark land I scream out a silent prayer "Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!" Although I try to stand in the light Against past demons, I lose my fight I am drowning in despair Grasping, gasping, just for air Again I scream my silent prayer "Help me please! I'll do better, I swear!" I'm a wild animal, thrown in a cage The madness growing, along with my age The years, they fly but the days, they drag Work and life's necessities, nothing but a blag Pain and sadness are all around Life's idiosyncrasies, grinding us into the ground People smiling, they think I don't see I know they are lying but this is how it must be I scream out a silent prayer "Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!" Although I try to stand in the light Against past demons, I lose my fight I am drowning in despair Grasping, gasping, just for air Again I scream my silent prayer "Help me please, I'll do better, I swear!" |

This was written a little over 18 months ago - I was stuck in a dead-end job and there were a lot of other things going on. About 6-months after this, I was successful at getting a challenging and rewarding job, with people who both understood me and respected me. It really is surprising how quickly it can all turn around! |

I am just a realist, my experiences, my base Those who've only seen the light, will never understand Their eyes can't adjust, to the twilight of this dark land I loved that bit, Great write!
