I’m Feeling Sad

 

I’m feeling sad,

The night is lonely, but safe.

My choice, I know,

But with nothing to show,

It’s just not worth it anymore.

 

I fight the feelings,

The moments of regret,

All ganging up in my mind,

And with each sigh,

I know I won’t die,

But the pain is killing me just the same.

 

It’s a long night again,

And I keep wondering when,

The change is going to occur,

And my nights won’t be sad,

And life won’t be so bad,

And I won’t feel sad anymore.

 

And I keep wondering when,

The change is going to occur,

And my nights won’t be so sad,

And life won’t be so bad,

And I won’t feel sad anymore.
