Insanity Pool

Insanity pool
one drip
falling into a deep hole
like acid rain
trickling into an open wound

another day of agony
one more night of pain
driven by insanity
there is no gain
same old story
characters all the same
writing songs about tears and sadness
hoping someday things will change

no on'es ever there
except the one
who never left
Staying by our side
through all the times we felt alone

feeling so bare
stripped of our innocence
abused
used
and left alone in the dark to bleed

we all feel it
can't deny it
wanting so bad to be freed

kneeling on the harsh ground of depression
puffy eyed
we make our confession

crying on an invisible shoulder
over another shameful transgression
we pray for a new beginning
better times
nicer ways
wanting just to be okay

so scared
what if I'm not good enough?
classified as "quiet"
when I am merely silent
so much to say
but can't seem to let it out
I retreat to my sanctuary
beatin by myself
here I stand again
as my eyes start to wander

I am alone
to no fault but my own
as I listen to the many words being said
my mind drifts
into another dimention
into a place that is all my own
I am alone
to no fault but my own

no one to judge my thoughts
because it is never said
no one to know what I feel
because it is never shown

I am simply here
I retreat to my quiet place
a place that is all my own
into my safe zone
afraid of what they'll say
but more afraid of what I'll say

I am alone
to no fault but my own
classified as "quiet"
when I am merely silent
