A Life of Pain

By Eladrim

All the walls are coming in,
You can see it can't you.
You can't find strength withing,
You look around and friends are few.

You fight but just can't win,
You always get shut down.
Your mind breaks, depression walks in,
You try but can no longer hide the frown.

They say that it's just part of life,
But you cannot admit it.
Because if pain is a part of life,
Then to escape the pain you must escape the life...
