We get caught up in life so much.
One minute, we have the world
hanging on our fingertips,
and then the next,
it wraps tightly around us
and pulses through us,
killing us slowly.
We don't stop to think about
our actions until afterwards.
We don't realize that
some of the things we do
could be good for ourselves,
but could ruin others.
Something can start easily,
but ending it is much harder.
How do we forgive and forget
when the problem eats at our insides?
We play on others emotions,
not really caring what happens afterward.
We lie...cheat...steal...
anything to get our way.
Falling under the pressure, we break apart.
We don't know what's synthetic
and what's real anymore.
Losing our way, we turn to other people,
and they only end up pulling us,
tearing us apart. It's almost like
they never loved us, but in reality, they did.
They just hurt us to get what they want.
That's how it works. It travels in a circle.
Everything and everyone is infected
by the never ending circle.
Lost and guilty, we run and run blindly,
only going in circles.
We are supposed to learn
from past mistakes, but
if we don't own up to them,
we'll never get anywhere in life...
stuck in that circle.
There will never be peace for us.
We go to bed lonely,
wake up lonely,
and live our life lonely.
We are never really happy.
We smile and make small talk,
acting as if the world and ourselves
are at peace, but really,
we are facing a battle,
a war, within ourselves.
A never ending battle. Again and again,
we make the same mistakes until finally,
we just give up on ourselves
and let go of our last shred of hope...

"...Lost and broken. Hopeless and lonely.
Smilin' on the outside and hurt beneath my skin.
My eyes are fadin', my soul is bleedin'.
I'll try to make it seem ok, but my faith is wearin' thin..:"
