So sad
This life I’ve had

Nothing in the world
Ever makes me feel alive
Too bad

This life I’ve had

Reach out
Open my mouth to shout
You used to be there
To help me rise above this
Left out
Now I’m without
You used to be
Another part of me
Now you stand apart
And shiver from what I’ve become
Turning from me
What is this thing happening to me?
I used to be Heaven sent
You gave me voice to vent
I never gave in
To someone else’s sin
But I won’t repent
Until I’ve fallen, spent

Discontent
With where my life went

My downward descent

Dicontent=always
heaven sent=never
I like the way your words flow together ....
more than that...I like how it makes one look at thier own life as they read the words of anothers.....


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...
