Weathered

Weathered wolly1234: I lie awake on a long dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
and it suits me just fine
I try to hold on, but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

Me... I'm rusted and weathered
barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peals
and it just won't heal

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I am holding on to life too tight
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
sometimes I feel like giving up

THe day reminds me of you the night hides your truth
THe earth is a voice speaking to you
take all this pride and leave it behind
because one day if ends, one day we die
Believe what you will that is your right

But I choose to win,
So I choose to fight.
