ME

Ron Durbin

I thought I had a friend in me.
But i'm my own worst enemy.

The person I was is lost to me.
All that's left is this monstrosity.

You don't know what it's costed me.
And why I tear at my mind constantly.

Why am I always hurting me.
Twisting my mind to uncertainty.

My own thoughts are taunting me.
I can never trust my own sanity.

Do you know how high I have to be.
To sit here and watch you watching me.

Better not look to close at me.
The ghost in the mirror is all you'll see.

What the fuck do you want from me.
Screaming in the night so silently.

I hear you Ron.
One of the difficulties in life.. is having to face our own demons
realizing that the wonderful life begins with me.
its ok to struggle with the struggle.. as long as you keep on fighting my friend.
Thanks for sharing.
