I Will Keep On -

Fighting
for control I can't seem to find
Always trying to keep close track of my mind
Still trying to release myself from this bind
I couldn't predict this again throughout time
Out of nowhere I lost track of my heart
My glue wore away then I just fell apart
Everything inside just straight blew apart
I must remember how to build, how to restart
Dragging myself across this field of thorns
Tearing and puncturing my saturated flesh
Trying to escape the river of piss
Never knew that I'd have to do this
Desperate to return to normal land
Needing to locate just one helpful hand
Aid in my efforts to fix myself
Assurance I can even regain my health
I want to be myself again
Reunite with my age-old friends
Never again see these painful ends
Travel a straightaway beyond these dark bends
Keep out of danger within them
