    Shut In

    What do you do when the pressures too great?
    My soul diminishing and my mind might break
    Pivical moments of choice to what path I'll take
    Either way I'm alone and the pain becomes hate

    There's no water left to fight the fires
    And I want to scream but I've lost desire
    To show the world why I'm so restless and tired
    Reying on empty bottles to escape and get higher

    I'm in self destruct mode so I'm closing all out
    And I protect you from me even if you can help
    I'm letting my heart freeze over, permafrost that can't melt
    And a chip on both shoulders from the hands life has dealt

    I want to be saved but there's no time for it now
    And I whittle away with the sweat of my brow
    And the blood on my knuckles that Hell's fury consumes
    So I do you all the favor saving you from my doom

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
