Too Broken To Sleep

Just take my hand and walk with me You know I’m too broken to fall asleep With all of these memories haunting my dreams My mind is constantly plagued by the screams They echo through my ears until they ring I search for silence, and that’s all it brings It’s only the memories while they’re replaying My soul is broken, it constantly stings The heroin used to help with these things I’m fried and I’m dying, so walk with me You know I’m too broken to ever be free The devil and demons just won’t let me be I know this is all too hard for you to see When I explain, they call me crazy Then all I do during the day is just sleep The night is when my mind wanders freely This pen is the only one who understands me And it doesn’t judge me for just being me I guess the depression and my anxiety Could be my demise, if so, let it be But until then, just please walk with me If you don’t want to, we don’t have to speak Just take my hand and walk with me You know I’m too broken to fall asleep Everyone knows life is temporary Either I’ll beat this, or I’ll die fighting Just take my hand, and my apologies. D.R.L.
