Today…

How am I today you ask,But How do I reply…“I’m fine up for any task...”That answer is nothing but a lie.

Today I have the black dog upon my back…Breathing putrid fumes of confusion and strife…Today I’m dealing with a lack…Lack of emotion and feeling the kind before I’ddeal with using a knife.

Today is a god dam Trial...I’m struggling to try…There’s no reason to smile…I just want to curl up and cry…

That’s something I can do,So on the mask goesBecause I have a job to doIt’s important that nobody knows

Knows that I am not like the rest…How can I be?I never managed to stand up to the test...For I am me…

So how am I today you ask?That’s really tough to sayTo answer truthfully? From behind the maskWould be me saying … I am far from ok.
