Break me down
Carefully I tread
Still I drown
Pull me under
No chance to breathe
Still I wonder
Would they grieve
Misplaced trust
Cuts to the core
A speck of dust
And nothing more
Try to cope
Sharpened blades
Light of hope
Slowly fades
One two three
These don’t mix
How long will it be
Four five six
Totally fine
Here’s my vow
Seven eight nine
Enough now
Yells now whispers
Secrets they’ll keep
Cries now whimpers
While I sleep
Nightmares abound
Keeping me trapped
Relief not found
Leaving me sapped
Wake in a sweat
The dream stays
Start again to fret
Mind in a daze
Sleep now gone
Just lay in bed
Wait for the dawn
Another night dead
Asleep or awake
No way to win
It’s time to fake
And wear a grin
Just smile
And take it
Just another trial
Time to commit
Take one breath
And now another
Under duress
It’s hard to recover
So thoughts in my head
Break me down
Carefully I tread
Still I drown
