The Drop

The Drop Here it comes, darkness again deaths blanket shrouding my brain smothered senses, clouded mind dragging me down, vision is blind Lethargy reigns, it rains in my head apathy rules, I'm better off dead can't keep living this sorrowful way this is no life, dreading each day What can I do to rid this terrible pain? pills, potions, doctors? always the same these are no cures, I want to be free free from suffering appointed to me Why am I like this? just me to blame? personal nightmares, torturous shame wish I could smile, laugh out loud rejoin the world, be a part of the crowd My blackened emotions may never abate constantly bleeding, my character trait I'll just live here, tearful and strained wishing for sun instead of this rain I can still hope, possibly one day the chilling darkness will lift away then I could live, be a person again leave behind the coldness and pain Here's to the dream, may it happen for me if not today, tomorrow maybe? so I'll carry on and live for this time time when I can laugh, be happy and shine Phibes 2011
