As i lie here
Staring at the ceiling
The silence is screaming in my ears
Making me lose all feelings

Who am I?
Where am I at?
Will I ever find out?
Will I ever get back?

What happened?
I was doing so well
Did I make a wrong turn?
'Cause now life is hell

Hour after Hour
I spend them alone
Stuck in this place
This place that's not my home

Flower after Flower
I pick the petals off
People watching,wondering
If and when I'll go off

Accusation after Accusation
They just never stop
"We just want to help you!"
"Please! Don't give up!"

Paper after Paper
I don't want them anymore
But they keep on coming
Getting passed under the door

By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

I like it. It doesn't specifically say what the person is struggling with so it gives the reader a little bit a wiggle room to relate. :)

&quot;Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I&#039;m already better than them.&quot;
