Look forward, don't look back.



Look forward, don't look back.
What my mind says, when i can't get back.
Painful to remember to many tears to see through
It's like sailing through a storm and praying for clear blue.

Everyday's a war
A final count down
I try to win but i lose to the voice in my mind
Who's joy is t0 hurt me and make me cry.
I'm unraveling and time is running out.
I feel like my life is being snuffed out.

To the world I am small
nonexsisted  to most
if feels like i walk around i must be a ghost
My outer shell is transparent as you can tell.
Earth is no heaven, it must be my hell.

Look forward, don't look back.
i fear they are watching me
I'm under attack.
sadness leads the way to another dark day

I wish the sun could stay
Shine on my face
Light my way
Take the night and give my day

Look Forward, don't look back.
