The Escape

Blurred eyes     People in my life
Red lines     Leavin’
Reality disguised    Pull out a knife
Bad signs     Bleedin’
Lovers in the back               Read my scars
I cried      The cuts
Smoke another stack   On my arms
I tried      The hidden wrist
Laying on the ground   Dead inside
About to give up    Clench my fist
Higher than the clouds   Angry at my mind
Just another cut    Losing control
Release the pain     No one of my kind
Look down     Losing it all
Blood stain     Waiting for a sign
No one around    Playing the game
Alcohol in my bloodstream   Playing tricks
Mind races     On my brain
I scream     trying to fix something
Blank faces     Searching for my soul
Don’t leave     Feeling nothing
Depression kicks in    Happiness where’d you go
It lies
I can’t win
As it tells me to die
Little does it know
I’m barely alive

Going through Depression and getting through it inspired me to write this.
