Punches

Knees up tight,

close to chest,

tears like raindrops,

no light, no rest.

 

The raindrops crash,

as they fall and fall,

the gloom spreads across me,

like a vicious rash.

 

Everyday I feel worse and worse,

I hate this life,

the wretched curse.

 

Knees up tight,

close to chest,

tears like raindrops,

no light, no rest.

 

Take me away from here,

I'm so unhappy,

take me away from here,

find me a cure.

 

'Coz my life is like punch after punch,

as broken dreams go crunch, crunch, crunch.

I'm almost giving up,

barely hanging on,

I don't know what to do,

the days are so long.

 

Knees up tight,

close to chest,

tears like raindrops,

no light, no rest.
