Black Mania

 

Oh the terrible twisted roads of torment and pain.

Scrambled thoughts crash down cliffs, scattered pieces remain.

 

On the playground when I was a lad,

Children will be children, but the things they said hurt real bad.

 

Words of appraisal I did not know,

But the wrath of dissatisfaction always delivered a mighty blow.

 

I stand alone in crowds of plenty.

I wonder do they like me, are they friends or enemies?

 

I kid myself I don’t like people or need any friends.

And self abusive thoughts never let the wounds mend.

 

Lord, I’m so tired of being lonely and afraid,

Life can be a living hell, my dues have been paid.

 

Ship wrecked and lost in a sea of self pity,

The waves of guilt and remorse come in plenty.

 

I swim against a strong tide of self destruction,

And my life is a maze of mixed up emotions.

 

Crushed, torn, and worn I stand here a humble man.

God! I can’t do it by myself, do you mind if I get a helping hand.
