Losing Your Mind

You look at your reflection time after time
You wonder if you are losing your mind
The smiles disappeared and the laughter has stopped
The tired eyes showing how far that you've dropped
You wonder what happened where did it go wrong
You can't even remember its just been too long
The state that you're in is an endless affair
You look in the mirror and just blankly stare
You once had a heart and everything flew
Those are the times that you want to renew
But the paths overgrown and the weeds choke your dreams
There is no escape or so it would seem
Is this the life that you're destined for
To wear that fake smile when you walk out the door
The time it will come when everything fails
And who'll pick you up when you come off those rails
The drink that once helped is now losing its touch
It was your escape now its becoming your crutch
What is the answer where on earth does it end
Maybe it doesn't, you'll just continue to descend

Insomnia

The hardest part is the night

The demons will come and look for a fight

They battle my soul for control of my brain

Looking for energy that they can drain

Thoughts shoot like bullets inside my head

Whilst looking for sleep, I'm thinking instead

Looking for answers to questions unasked

Visions of mistakes that have littered my past

Daytime relief is a long way away

But that is the time when I also will pay

Tired and exhausted from each nights melee

Finding it hard just to get through the day

I look for escape but it never arrives

Each nights events are no longer a surprise

Searching for sleep, now let battle commence

Here in my bed, I will start my defence
