Just Give me a Reason
Honestly and truly, I’m losing my faith in myself and others around.
I’m trying to carry on through this fight and nobody makes a sound.
They don’t realise the trouble I’m in, how deep I’m sure to drown.
They think it’s a joke, a moment of humour, once again I am the clown.
But that’s always the case, well it seems to be - you always wear a smile, they say.
Yes my dear, of course I must because death is a high price to pay.
But maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, I wonder, to sleep eternally in peace.
I could finally escape and be happy and free - carefree, to say the least.
You’re stupid, you’re an idiot and selfish - they say, but they fail to understand.
Life is a game and they’re winning, you see. They have the upper hand.
People are out there with worse problems than you and yes, that’s possibly the case.
But in all honesty darling, I don’t give a fuck about the entire human race.
See nobody out there realises the strength of the urges that pin me with glee.
The razors, the alcohol, the sex, cigarettes - they help to set me free.
Because the pressure and stress of this constant battle weighs me down a ton.
I’m pushing and pulling, I’m struggling but there’s nowhere left to run.
And I find that I’m edging closer towards the light that shines so bright.
It’s calling my name, it’s bringing me in and I’m fading from your sight.
Because the light at the end of the tunnel appears to be a stop that I missed.
The train delayed and a detour it took, that station crossed off the list.
So maybe it’s time, my time to go and leave this all behind.
Because think how wonderful and amazing that would be, to have some peace of mind.
So I’ll leave you with this, a riddle, maybe. Think before you speak.
When a life feels so bad, so pointless and dull, give me a reason to be.
