Billy
Wellknown Ace
I stand in front of the mirror and look at my face
Another sight I wish I just had the power to erase
Is there a place for someone like me, I don't know
But if I wanted to leave here, where could I go?
I lack the determination to fight for a transition
From the mind state I got now that lacks definition
I gave up on life then the problems began to pile
I became hostile and concluded life isn't worth while
Now I go each day unable to achieve a simple smile
I can be outgoing and fun but yet I wear a frown
There's no middle ground, either high up or far down
A manic depressive struggling to maintain control
And avoid the darkness that tries to consume my soul
I can't figure out what this life of mine is about
Haunted by doubt, a feeling I could easily live without
Another day, another poem, another release from pain
And with each one I write I'm no closer to being sane
I hope in due time the confusion with end and I will see
The man that I am now and the one that I must be
Another sight I wish I just had the power to erase
Is there a place for someone like me, I don't know
But if I wanted to leave here, where could I go?
I lack the determination to fight for a transition
From the mind state I got now that lacks definition
I gave up on life then the problems began to pile
I became hostile and concluded life isn't worth while
Now I go each day unable to achieve a simple smile
I can be outgoing and fun but yet I wear a frown
There's no middle ground, either high up or far down
A manic depressive struggling to maintain control
And avoid the darkness that tries to consume my soul
I can't figure out what this life of mine is about
Haunted by doubt, a feeling I could easily live without
Another day, another poem, another release from pain
And with each one I write I'm no closer to being sane
I hope in due time the confusion with end and I will see
The man that I am now and the one that I must be
