The light I find in life is only temporary.
Each day gets harder with each breath I take.
The days grow, and I become wary,
For this feeling of woe I cannot shake.
I know I am not the only one feeling this way.
Time is ticking and life is moving.
I'm having trouble keeping the monsters at bay.
They wait in hiding, each one unmoving.
My life flashing before my eyes.
Each day the darkness consumes my heart,
Knowing all too well I need not tell lies.
Struggling to keep myself from falling apart.
Moving forward in this life so bitter and gray,
Looking for sunshine in the gloomiest day.
