Slipping Away

SHATTERED MIND

Night after night and day after day
I feel myself slipping further away
The voices torment and cry out in pain
The voices are mine, one and the same
I don’t know where it started or when it will end
I just keep looking for hope around every bend
My mind is split I know not which way to go
I continue to wander running to and fro
I don’t know what to do when the darkness is near
There is nowhere to hide from the panic and fear
The cuts are deep they’re raw and sore
I don’t know how I got them I don’t know anymore
They don’t understand you’re just crazy they say
They shrug their shoulders or just stay away
I need someone to trust, someone to care
Someone to hold, who will always be there,
They don’t understand my fear and my pain
Cause the voices are mine one and the same.
