I am hungry, but I don't want to eat
I am happy, but I can not smile
I am sad, but I can not cry
I am thirsty, but I can't get enough to drink
What will take my pain away?
So many words, yet nothing to say
I am tired of hurting
Yet I don't know what to say
I have a splitting headache
Every single day
Slowly falling into a state of depression
Close the door
Sit on the floor
Loneliness, seclusion
Reality, or an illusion
I am ready to go
Yet, I want to stay
Tired of working
Yet, I dont' want to play
