I close my eyes, things get crazy, I feel the quickening of my pulse. My words spill out. Did I say that? Here we go again. It’s like a high, it feels good. Too good.I want to dance sing leap, go as fast as the wind. Things that I thought were wrong feel right, things that I believed to be right feel like chains. Somewhere inside a little voice cries. I can barely hear it. What did it say? It doesn’t matter anyway. The blood is rushing in my ears, I can’t hear and all I want is release. I ride the high as far as it can go, Knowing when I reach the top I will see how far I have to fall. I close my eyes, things get crazy I feel the despair in my heart My words come out with venom and hate. Here we go again My days seem bleak and not worth my time I pray for the days to just go by. Somewhere inside a voice cries, I can barely hear it. What did it say? It doesn’t matter anyway. I struggle to cope, to smile, to care. I put on a face that seems ok I have fallen. So far so deep it seems like I’ll never get out. My only joy comes from the little faces that need me. I can pull it together until they''re not here This is the part that makes it so hard. Why do I have to come here? While I was up and flying, at least I wasn’t here. I may have been destructive but I wasn’t in this pit. How can I hate it if it is the opposite of this? For weeks and weeks I see no end. I feel like my life is over. Out of the blue.. I close my eyes. Things get crazy I feel the quickening of my pulse. Here we go again... |
