Catch Twenty-Two

By GirlintheBox

the choices i make always seem to break
this hell that i call life
they send down rains of unbearable pain
a thunderstorm of strife
but if i choose not to choose then i will still lose
im caught in a catch twenty-two
i can sink or swim, but i still will not win
for i'm cursed in all that i do
