Shit Show

Welcome to my shit show.
Where you’ll see my mind let go.
Sit down and you’ll see a good show.
Learn things about me you didn’t know.

First I’ll tell you of my life.
Well let’s just say it’s not been nice.
I cut my heart out with love’s knife.
Then sewed myself up to survive.

Next I found a little pill.
I found it numbed and made me feel.
My mind it took and tried to kill.
My sanity it came to steal.

After that I found I didn’t care.
For the real me was no longer there.
The waves of calm were all too fair.
Functional without a thought to share.

Finally I found a path to clean.
Addiction wasn’t really my scene.
My life had been marked since I was a teen.
With this monster that didn’t seem that mean.

Now I live and don’t forget.
This life’s the only one I’ll get.
That struggle was the hardest I’ve met.
But I’ll keep fighting it with all my breath.
