Fear is what I feel now
That I won't reach their expectations
And I allow it to grow
Not knowing the intentionsThe dull endless pain
Never fades
I reach out for help in vain
Unknowingly sharpening the bladesThe break of dawn
Only brings along fears
Not leaving me time to fawn
As the pain searsDisappointment
Is all I will bring
Promising to pay back in instalment
Fearing that I'll never see the springIn the wee of the hour
Happiness seems to flee
Remembering the lies I tried to cover
Knowing that I'll have to pay the feeDreams having turned to nightmares
Oh, the sleepless nights
The pain never wears
Trying to win the fightsMy days
Which were once full of glee
Are now at bay
Guess I'll have to pay my feeThe nights intrigue me
Hence the sleeplessness
So let me be
For I've brought upon this messMy words seem to slur
The numbness takes over
And the days continue to blur
In the corner I cowerAs guilt washed over me
My fears creep in
It takes possession over me
And I give inI don't fear death
Loneliness is what I fear
Feeling the coldness of my breath
My mind alters it's gearIf this is how life will be
I want it to cease
If this is what I'll come to be
I want to end it....."How will we ever get out of this labyrinth of suffering?" And Alaska said,"straight and fast."
