Sometimes I wish I could hit rewind,

Sit back and relax, because there’s a war inside my mind,

I feel on edge and unsatisfied,

Feels like you’re sleeping, but your eyes are open wide,

What’s going on, because I just don’t know anymore,

Breathing and just existing is a menial chore,

I need to do, but I don’t want to,

I can’t help, but feel that I am shut down, out of sorts,

You expect a diamond when all you’ll get is quartz,

I may breathe, but am I truly alive,

I’m not afloat, yet I’m about to take another dive,

No need to gloat,

I’m just waiting for the next boat.
