Time Ticking 
my downward spiral  
taking me deeper in 
I'm dying slowly 
rotting away my insides 
my heart melts away 
pouring our my eyes 
rage building in my fists 
waiting to exhale 
I hold back everything I could 
wishing it would leave 
my blood circulating my anger 
flowing through every limb 
God can only tell 
when my time has come 
I'm reaching for an answer 
some way to escape 
these emotions are painful 
tearing out my mind 
its hard to comprehend 
a life worth living 
no matter how much I try 
I always end up on my face 
the scars are proof 
it shows my faults 
the mirror is frightening 
I don't want to look 
I'm just like everyone else 
in my Hell I call home
