My hazard sticker says “Bipolar,” yours may be labeled something else, but at the end of the day all of us are fighting a battle against our own minds. Feel free to share with anyone that could use a reminder that they are not alone ?
~The Game~
Have you ever heard the darkness whispering your name,
Beckoning your illness to wake up and play a game?
The rules are very simple, madness is the goal.
Take away her sanity, make her lose control.
They’ll throw you medications, advise you learn to cope,
They’ll promise you salvation, a promise of false hope.
This sickness is a poison that spreads throughout your mind,
Except there is no antidote, so leave your hopes behind.
Your happiness is taken and locked inside a cage,
The only things familiar now are misery and rage.
It preys upon your weakness and strips you of your pride,
Running is now futile, there is no place to hide.
Your moods will not be stable, as chaos eats your soul,
The demons want you broken, for them, that is the goal.
The world can’t see you’re hurting, so they think there’s nothing wrong,
You’ll paint that smile on your face and act like you belong.
People will abandon you and the monsters in your head,
But why hate someone else when you can hate yourself instead?
I’m afraid of the darkness and things you can’t see,
Then I look in the mirror and find the monster is me.
When your mind is plagued by illness, your thoughts shall not find peace,
You’re trapped inside its prison walls, praying for release.
You are just a pawn now and your sickness is the Queen,
She’ll overtake your sanity just to hear you scream.
I must close my eyes now, the demons call my name,
Another night of torture, a pawn in their sick game.
I’m on the edge of madness and I can hear its call
I close my eyes and take its hand then wait to feel the fall.
Have you ever heard the darkness whispering your name?
The chessboard’s on the table, it’s my turn to play the game.
