I tossed and turned
I whined, I grieved
Anxiety my drug
Depression my weed
Dark dreary paths
A forlorn traveller
Lost navigation
My life a smuggler
Lukewarm water with pills I took
The horrible taste
Made my head shook
Shaking limbs with
Quivering teeth
Autumn chills in the
Summer heat
Crowds made me feel alone
This solitariness was never gone
Forward and backward
Backward and forward
Everyday
A little into darkness
A little out of light
Somehow
Waiting for a turning point
