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
