Boil in me, my heart they shear.
The pain too much, it aches and burns,
I pray for somewhere I can turn,
But all I see is misery,
The very thing that’s blinded me.
Darkness lying everywhere,
I’ve had enough of this despair.
Behind my heightened fears I hide
As I cry and hurt and die inside
My troubled soul I can’t escape
Because my life it chose to take.
I look for help in one last place,
Where all I see is my smirking face
The second I thought I was free
Was when I got the best of me.

The Best of Me

Raging hate and wasted tears
Boil in me, my heart they shear.
The pain too much, it aches and burns,
I pray for somewhere I can turn,
But all I see is misery,
The very thing that’s blinded me.
Darkness lying everywhere,
I’ve had enough of this despair.
Behind my heightened fears I hide
As I cry and hurt and die inside
My troubled soul I can’t escape
Because my life it chose to take.
I look for help in one last place,
Where all I see is my smirking face
The second I thought I was free
Was when I got the best of me.

I can completely relate. This is so how I feel. And tonight is one of those nights I needed to know I'm not the only one. Somehow it helps to escape the lonliness (just a little). Thank you!

I have so been there...I hate the paradox that hope brings. Excellent write!
