It feels like I’m trapped in a nightmare, I have no place to run,
These days it feels like death is toying me just for fun,
The frustration is daunting, is like every new day is always my turn,
To die a little bit more and part of my soul thrown to the fire to burn,
Sometimes i wish I had a gun, to extinguish this useless battle under the sun.
It feels like I’m trapped in a nightmare, I’m lost, no where to be found,
I feel like I’m chocked as I try to scream there’s no sound,
Maybe it was meant to be, I was told that my overthinking was profound,
But I do feel that life is being sucked slowly away from me by an invisible hound,
Now I know that my quest for peace will end six feet underground.
It feels like I’m trapped in a nightmare, sanity is what I can’t find,
In the normalcy of my abnormal life it feels like I’ve lost my mind,
Searching in vain for a way out, I’m starting to question I’m probably blind,
The frustration leading to stagnation, seems my life is always behind,
Now I await to wake up on the other side because the world hasn’t been kind.
