Brutality of life..... 

Life is full of pressures
pushing at me from every side
hard to know where to turn to
just want to run and hide

this crushing feeling stifles me
like a vice  grabbing at my heart
squeezing it tighter and tighter
watching my life fall apart

voices yelling in my head
confusing my in every way
can`t block them out any more
you`re doomed, is what they say!

struggling through this cold place
just needing to find the light
will I ever escape from here?
before darkness kills my sight
