Feeling So Down
I just want to hurt myself
I just don't know why
My family's my world
Now I need to cry
This is so really bizarre
Feel like driving a car
I can't do that I've had a drink
Am I really on the brink
Its a dark place I'm sat in
Switch on the light
Let my life begin
I'm ready to fight
I've had a good day
and beaten the thoughts
Happy with all of my cohorts
But now it is night
the bad thoughts are strong
Trying to convince I dont belong
What is going on in my brain
I know I'm not really insane
A bit confused at this time
Fight it now get in line
Its really hard I must confess
My head says one thing
My heart says the rest
I need sleep that's for sure
Tomorows the day I find a cure
After a little sleep I do wake cranky oh for goodness sake
The same feelings are in my head
Remain positive the counsellers said
A new day begins so does grounding
I'm so down need to look at my surroundings
Listening to the chirps of the birds
Telling me not to be so absurd
Feeling the wind upon my face
I'm a member of the human race
The smells around me are so sweet
Brings me back too my feet
Take today as a new beginning
The new chapter of me winning
Black dog still sits on my shoulder
But hey I'm another day older
