Mental State

Betrayal, death, and lies,

life is an all around bitch.

Teetering, stumbling, falling,

into a black abyss.

Drugs and booze seep down our throats,

help us see more clearly.

Pushing us onto the fine line,

between reality and fantasty.

Family and friends vanish,

from your heart and memory.

"Where's daddy at mom,

he's not coming back tonight sweety"

Love, faith, happiness,

all things we once enjoyed.

Have now gone with everything else,

into an empty void.

Now we can go on like this,

living life as a fable.

But before too long the feeling is gone,

and we wind up sick: Mentally Unstable.

Lashing out at practically nothing,

screaming at the sky as it rains.

"What did I do to deserve this,

please won't you stop the pain?"

But because we made the choices,

it is all our fault.

The people that have taken this road,

cannot be too pleased with the result.

Family has turned their back,

and friends no longer care.

You're left to wonder this mental state,

living in eternal despair.
