8th Floor

Contributed by AndreaJ on Monday, 16th August 2004 @ 04:06:02 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

Everytime I turn around
Something happens
Mom back in the hospital
Got a bad grade today
Always something
Never nothing.

I'm going to end up on the 8th floor
Drugged on pain
Tired on stress
Always something.
Never nothing.
8th floor is where i'm going.

Father called
Bought a ticket to her funeral.
Don't know what i'll do without her strength
Don't know what I'll do without her presence
I just want to make her proud.

I'm going to end up back on the 8th floor.
Drugged on pain.
Tired on stress.
Always something.
Never nothing.
8th floor is where i'm going.

I feel the noose around my neck
Tugging at my sanity
Pulling at my tears
Scaring away my patience
And welcoming the pain
If you looked at my heart
You would not see me
You would see my pain,
My tears, my cries of lonliness.

I'm going to end up back on the 8th floor.
Drugged on pain
Tired on stress
Always something,
Never nothing.
8th floor is where I'm going.

Why am I like this?
Is this a way to live?
To deal?
To survive?
Everything is harder for me.
That's why I go to the 8th floor.
