Why oh why do I
lay here and cry?

I'm feeling a wave of sadness
And I don't know why
Tears in each corner
Dripping down my face
Pooling around my lips
Finding their place
A breath, a ray of light
A hope shut down, unspoke
A soft and somber night
A tear that makes me choke
Sleep I cannot find
I have wrestled, I have tried
Bound by my own emotions
That I have chained inside
Ripping at the seams
I may possibly explode
Is it what it seems
Or what I have been told?
These questions have no answers
No rights and no more wrongs
In my head it's like a cancer
That I have known all along
I can't figure anything out
Because not a thing at all makes sense
On the inside I will shout
While I'm sitting on the fence
