I'M DYING INSIDE

Poisoned words have killed my mind
Left me wandering to grasp for light,
Nowhere in place, so hard to find
Exhausted care, losing my might.

Left me wandering to grasp for light
I've been neglected in all my days,
Nowhere in place, so hard to find
Groping for spark of sunlight rays.

I've been neglected in all my days
Nothing left in me but unwanted gift,
Groping for spark of sunlight rays
I'm dying inside and begging a lift.

Nothing left in me but unwanted gift
I learned to accept this game of life,
That passion and thoughts have its shift
Courageous enough to face with strife.

I learned to accept this game of life
Nowhere in place, so hard to find,
Courageous enough to face with strife
Poisoned words have killed my mind.
