Have You Ever Felt Too Much?

written by: OurSacredHonor

Have you ever felt so disjointed, separate and lost
That you'd give anything not to be alone, no matter what the cost?
Have you ever felt so helpless, depressed and full of fear
That you can't help but fall apart in a pool of all your tears?
Have you ever felt so distant, isolated and confused
That all that you can hope for is the bomb to be diffused?
Have you ever felt the pressure building up inside
Until it overcomes you and you fail to feel alive?
Have you ever felt so hallow, saddened and depressed
That you can't help try to release what you've suppressed?
Have you ever felt so frustrated, angry, and upset
That no matter how hard you try to understand there some things you just can't get?
Have you ever felt like a failure, a disappointment, to those around
That you reach the bottom and suddenly break down?
Have you ever let down everyone that has ever cared
That when they needed you the most, you just weren't there?
Have you ever made a promise, an assurance, a commitment
That you manage to screw up, and didn't follow through with it?
Have you ever felt so guilty, so wrong, so much at fault
That all you want to do is lock yourself up in a vault?
Have you ever let someone down that you cared about so much
That it makes you feel so low you shiver at your own touch?
Have you ever doubted yourself to such an extent
That everything you say is wrong, it isn't what you meant?
Have you ever lost?
Have you ever failed?
Have you ever ached?
Have you ever ailed?
Have you been guilty?
Have you been upset?
Have you felt anger?
Have you felt regret?
Have you ever feared?
Have you ever lied?
Have you felt saddened?
Have you ever cried?

As these black tears stream down my face
I'm hoping for a better place
A place where I can be happy, somewhere I can be free
A place where I don't make human mistakes, a place where I'm not me
But I'll masquerade with my fa?ade again, and hide under this glossy veneer
Because I know that place will never come, forever I'm stuck here
