Sometimes
Sometimes the quiet
is more than I can bear
As I sit here alone
in my own little chair
Sometimes the noise
fills me up with such dread
Malicious discontent enters my poor head
Sometimes the pain
lingers in me for so long
I know I can't bear it,
my will isn't that strong.
Sometimes the sorrow
grows down in me so deep
There aren't enough tears
inside of me to weep
Sometimes serenity
rears its pristine head
But, I choose insanity
for my life instead
Sometimes for no reason
terror appears
And fills my yearning soul
with crippling fears
Sometimes the quiet
is more than I can bear
Then someone says to me
get out of that chair
