Analysis of Salvation
Joanne Coley 2988 (ELMIRA)
Loosing time, forgetting my place
Battling my mind, a crazy head case
Stuck in a room, with no lock in place
Impending doom, I see a body no face
To the public eye, sweet as can be
Screaming inside, can they not see
Words become demons, struggling for life
Gasps of breath leaving, succumbing to the fight
Saying goodby, to the public eye
Fighting to survive, no words left inside
Finding my voice, my only goal
It's not a choice, I must mend my soul
Living this life has been anything but an adventure
Full of nightmares and demons and I'm at the center
Utterly alone full of pain left with only questions
These tears do not portray the state of my regression
Speaking with depression is as inherent as aggression
You will never know the extension of my suppression
Gaping wounds by family and foe, help cannot exist
So, I'll continue to hide from my shambles and rips
Help has only been met with failure and frustration
Loosing grip on reality death may be my salvation
My heart lonely roaming lost naked to expression
Defeated and exhausted, this is my final confession
