One Has To Try

I'm living in a body of sadness
covered by a skin of despair.
I'm shadowed by a cloud of darkness,
and it follows me everywhere.

I have no happy times to reflect on,
my memories are of torment and pain.
I would like to think life will get better
before I lose control of my brain.

I thought I saw silver stars yesterday,
but I must've banged my head.
My stomach's churning over and over
and my mind's somewhere else instead.

There's no one here to talk with,
I'm alone in this mental void
I never win an argument with myself,
no wonder I'm confused and annoyed.

I thought I felt a wind of change,
but I guess I'm believing a lie.
I once tried to remember but I couldn't,
but I suppose one has to try.
