Just For a Little While

by melanie   Jun 27, 2005


I get up.
I fall down.
The room is spinning all around.
My head is aching, and I feel numb.
My hearts been breaking, I'm almost done.
My ringing ears won't stop now,
as I swallow the last drip.
As I close my eyes, I set the bottle down.
Slowly I begin to slip.
Good.
For a little while I'm not myself,
Not knowing what has happened.
Not knowing why, when and where,
and that has my satisfaction.
I am a careless person for just a little while, my chains are broken, and I'm problem-free.
Just for a little while, I'm happy and I'm young, because I am not me.

I feel my eyes begin to droop, as I grow deeper into my sleep.
I'm thankful for the peace because my composure I can't manage to forever keep.
This medicine will kill out my pain,
for just a little while.
I won't be sane, and have to play the game,of a puzzle, known as LIFE.
And know the pain that I had known, a little while before.
But once my medicine does wear off, I'll know that pain once more.
I won't let it wear off,
Not one drop of my medicine.
Cause the hurt I'll always know.
So I'll take it again and again.
Cause I don't want that feeling to ever go.
The feeling that makes me happy, and makes me feel problem-free.
Because for just a little while it seems,
Hopefully my entire life,
I will not have to be me.
