As my world has caved in around me, it seems this pain that is choking my sanity
Will be an endless assault preventing the change of the person I wish to be
Guilt is forever taunting me, telling me I am evil and unworthy of love of sympathy
I try to search in the distance for the land of bliss
But I can’t see anything past criticizing trees that yell and hiss
For I stand in the midst of the dark forest that appears endless
Why can’t I find a way out of this emotional calamity?
Which robs me of any happiness and drowns me in a cold sea of distress
