I stare at my reflection
And turn away.
I don't like what I see
I can't face the day.

It hurts just to look
At what I have become.
I used to be happy, free
And then some.

But all that's gone
Spiraling down the drain
Along with the blood
Along with the pain.

Sometimes I pinch myself
To see if its just a dream.
But then I know the truth, its not
And I scream.

Let me out of this shell
That I've been in for far to long.
Let me yell out my hurt
Sing this painful song.

I've laid to rest
But something lingers on my mind.
I can't fall asleep
Or my teeth will surely grind.

Thoughtless
Roaming in the dark.
I shadow this anger
As I hear the morning lark.
