Cant Be Saved From This Grave

by Jasilynn Price - Sagittarius

i feel like the world is twirling at my feet
that I just am beat
its lingers inside me 
but I just want to be free and it it is killing me
slowly eats me alive it seems that I must die 
mom holds on not wanting to let go but NO
No I say I cant take this any more. 
All I think about is that demon 
The demon that wont let me be 
That it just wont let me be free.
Its difficult day by day 
All I can do is fall to my knees and pray
But I cant I just cant
Confronting the one I hold dear 
And tell him what I fear. 
Its just to hard to feel this pain 
Why give it to him to gain
Its my fault I feel this way
So now I just must pay
For all the hurt and all the misery
That I had caused to all those I hold dear
“PLEASE, please don’t leave be near”
I scream as they walk right past 
This all happened way to fast 
But they don’t know im in pain
I wipe my tears and smile
Cant you tell something’s wrong don’t you see my empty face
But I am such a disgrace
 It can not linger any more in my life 
I have to hold on and move on 
For better day are sure to come
But that’s just mere dream
As I look down at this stream, 
The stream of guilt and shame 
But I am the only one to blame.
I will lay this down its time for me to go 
I will try to hold on 
But for the world to know
Stay away from this demon don’t let it get to you, don’t let it get you down
For its to late 
I cant be saved from this grave
