Life's Journey
How does it start?
The trek down
to crazy town...
I wasn't always like this
As a kid
I was happy
laughing, jumping, playing...
Then I grew up
I began my downwards spiral
First came anger
Then came sadness and longing
Finally came desperation
I became more
and more angry
I was mad at everyone;
All the time
Eventually, I became sad...
I cried and cried
Until there were
No more tears left to shed
All I wanted
Was my life back...
Back to when I was happy
I began to long for those days
Soon after, I began to accept
That my life was worth nothing
I wanted a way out of all
The pain and suffering
I was willing to do anything
To get away
From the horrible feelings
That came every minute of everyday
As a teenager
I was far from happy...
I was mad, sad, and desperate
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore
How does it end?
The trek down
To crazy town...
I wasn't always like this
