I'm all alone
This I feel
Clear to the bone
Even as I reel
At the end of the hook
There is no fish
No matter how hard I look
Or how much I wish
There is no end
To this never ending pain
And just when I think I'm nearly around the bend
I fall again
This time harder
Is there any hope?
I feel like a martyr
Or like I'm on dope
But it doesn't matter
Because these things are untrue
I try to imagine the latter
To be true
Though, I find myself lost
Even more than before
Aside I have been tossed
And I don't think I'll reform
They all say look for the light
At the end of the dark tunnel
That forever it can't be night
They say it's like a funnel
The closer you come to the end
The more the path narrows
I'm ready to begin
But I'm a mere fallen sparrow
Spiraling downward into despair
Into the endless dark
And to be quite fair
I don't think there's a spark
Of hope left for me
But that's a bit selfish
If we were in the sea
I'd be a mere shellfish
Stuck to the bottom of the ocean
Trapped inside my shell
I want to come clean
I want to find someone to tell
All my deepest thoughts and dreams
But there is no escape from my shell
I've checked all the seams
It is my own personal hell
I've told myself
I can escape
All by myself
I can take a scrape
I can be my own shell
But recently I've learned
Shh, don't tell
I think it is strength I have earned
But in truth
It is weakness
I'll swear to you on my tooth
Throughout all this bleakness
I don't need you
But Inside I'm dying
To tell you
That I'm lying....

I think this thing now consists of mostly poetry and song lyrics. Enjoy anyway.
