You know that feeling

That sends you reeling

When the void in your chest

Won't let you rest

When all of your rage

Makes you rattle the cage

When no amount of expression

Can alleviate the depression

When it feels like the whole world

Is coming unfurled

And you can't shift the mood

Because you're coming unglued

And you push everyone away

Because you know in your heart

You're not feeling okay

And can't do your part

Those are the days

When I write these things

To clear the malaise

And the anger it brings

I may be a big guy

Who's got a foul mouth

But I'm just trying not to die

From hanging myself

The voices in my brain

They keep getting so loud

I'm going insane

Just want to make people proud

I keep hoping for the day

When I find the right words

To take away the pain

And take away the concerns

So I may lose myself

Every once in a while

But the reason I do this

Is so I can smile
