I've found this wonderful bright light
staring at my stupid blissful face.
It has taken me days, months, years
to have the truth finally kick me in the ass.
I'm here, and I can't leave.
Everyone I love and everything I have is here.
I try to get away from everything in my life.
But I always seem to come back.
Nothing can keep me away.
I want so bad to just leave everyone behind.
To go off on my own, to be by myself,
I wish I wasn't surrounded by so many things.
so many things are happening and I don't know how to handle it all.
Nobody cares, I'm going crazy just staying.
So many things are starting to annoy me.
It's not anyone's fault,
just my own.
I've just been dreaming this whole time.
The light I see is nothing but the sunrise in the morning.
Then I wake up for another worthless day.
