ESCAPE
ESCAPE
BY C WYNTER

My mind has being to rot lately, sleep no longer comes,
And in this world of struggles, I am more than done,
I think about ending it quite often, I really feel like a burden,
I don't have a support system, only deepens the hurting,
I have tried distractions, they don't last long before I'm sad again,
Want to talk to someone about it, but I don't want to bother my friends,
So I keep it in as much as possible, it hurts within the silence,
The days bleed into each other, depression hits with such violence,
Everyone has problems, I know this, so I better keep it hush,
Fighting within myself, I hate this, when will it be enough?,
Then the voice says it's simple, if I want the pain to go away,
Then those pills within the bottle, will make a nice escape.
