Sinking Time


clarity and revelations are what i'm striving to find
while it seems others have the answers and are of sound mind
the lucky ones with their money and success
pictures of smiling families while my life's a mess

some say that they hide it better than me
no life is perfect, well fid-dle-lee dee!
i've worked hard for the accomplishments i've made
while others live on easy street as they've made mistake after mistake

i usually don't care and keep my head on straight
however right now, i'm tired, sleepy but wide awake
listening to the news of fires, gun shots and earth quakes
seems more life threatening than results from my blood tests the doc did take

I'm sad and lonely; I want to disappear
all my loved ones are too busy to hear
i keep thinking this soon will pass
but this sinking time seems to last and last...
