This Life I Lead (Freestyle)

by Beauty Within These Pages of Darkness   Aug 27, 2007


Oh lord, what have I done wrong?
How could you judge me? I haven't been here that long.
Every time I try and go down the right path,
I seem to always suffer your wrath.
Why have you put me on this earth?
I always seem to be treading on your turf.
And just for that you punish me,
Can't you just leave me alone, and set me free.
Outside it rains,
But because of you I'm stuck inside, trapped by chains.
And as it gets dark,
That's when you make your mark.
When I lie down and try to go to sleep,
I just lie here and weep.
Because when I'm in bed,
You're inside my head.
Oh lord, just leave,
And let me breathe.
I know if I try and give,
I won't receive.
So I'm pleading with you, to just let me live,
Every time I try and leave,
You drag me back,
Onto you're never ending torture rack.
Then one day you let me go,
But just to make sure I lay low.
Now I believe that it's safe to come out of hiding,
I'm sick of deciding.
Of which route I should take,
It's time to make or break.
But I'm suffering from a never ending fear,
I know it sounds tragic,
But It will just be like magic,
That one day I just might as well disappear.
