Here goes another day,
Here goes another shot,
I think I’ll be okay,
If I give it all I’ve got,
Sometimes I think I’m fine,
Then other times I’m not,
I’m losing my freaking mind,
Forgetting what I was taught,
This pressure is just too much,
It’s piling down on me,
I’m losing that special touch,
The feeling of feeling free,
Why can’t I be healed?
I just want to feel okay,
How can someone deal?
With pain that doesn’t go away,
It is all stressing me out,
To the point I want to die,
I wish I could figure it out,
But why should I even try?
Everyone says they feel this too,
They say they feel just like me,
You don’t know what I’ve been through,
So don’t pretend like you can see,
Don’t say you’ll be there,
When you know that you won’t,
Don’t pretend like you care,
Because maybe I don’t,
My life is hard enough,
I don’t need anymore pain,
I’ve pretended to be so tough,
But that’s what I need to gain,
I’m losing faith and losing hope,
How will I pull through?
I really am trying to cope,
But I just don’t know what to do,
I used to say, “This too shall pass,”
Well it is taking longer than I thought,
How long can this pressure last?
I just wish that it would not,
I want this breath to be my last,
I don’t even want to try,
I hope that all this will pass,
So then I won’t have to say goodbye…
