Wish
I could change it all
I
tried to figure out before;
confusion
was the gain.
I
tried to put an end to this;
it
brought me pain.
I
think Im going crazy;
wish I
could change it all.
To speak of sorrow never meant
but these strings
only cry.
Take away my heart
again.
I think Im
going crazy;
wish I could change
it all.
I'll sit back and Ill watch no
more
my life being in
play.
In this age of
anxiety
serenity Ill
gain.
