Stuck
I’m so tired of this.
 Tired of doing better, getting closer to happiness - then this!
 Something always has to happen
 To bring me back down
 Seems like no matter how close I get
 I will never be truly happy,
 I’ll always have a frown.
 I’m tired of being angry, upset
 And just plain sad.
 I just feel bad.
 But I get stuck in this mood
 And I try to shove it down,
 Deep – out of my mind
 But it doesn’t change how I feel
 I’m still extremely upset
 Even though these are the emotions I detest
 I can’t change how I feel
 And nothing seems to help
 Even when I do something just for myself
 All the things I do
 Bring only temporary relief
 But they don’t matter ‘cause deep down
 I’m still filled with grief.
 I pretend to be okay
 But I’m so sick of it –
 Sick of feeling this terrible and sick of hiding it
 Why won’t you just let me quit?
 Let me crawl under the covers and sink into a deep sleep
 And never have to wake up
 Never have to feel this way again
 Never have to go through another torturous day
 I just want something to look forward too
 Something more than lonely dark nights
 And silent brutal fights.
 But I guess there’s no escaping from this life
 I guess all I can do about it, is write.
