A friend once told me
there is no such thing as a happy ending
trying to convince him otherwise, I realised
he was right
Without a fight, I started to give in
there is no use to try and win this battle
happiness is not real
it is just a message in a bottle
A face facade
20mg per day
that is all I can say
to stop me
from drowning in this pain
What is there more to say
as these words come alive
my heart is breaking
all that I am doing to survive
is faking
Surviving, but not living
Smiling, but not laughing
Walking, but getting nowhere
Is there a use?
An end? A purpose?
Or is it just a message in a bottle?
Lets make it 40mg a day
7 pills down the rabbit hole
Add one at night
See there are you smiling again
But are you really happy?
They say it’s the wolf you feed
They throw you a bone
A glimmer of hope
Fuck the wolves
They eat you alive
With no life left in me
How am I to thrive
Up and down
Left and right
Tired of this drive
As the chemicals go wild
I tell myself tomorrow is another day
You’ve got this
You can do it
This too, shall pass
How is that
For a message in a bottle?
Pills, quotes, chemicals, jokes
They all come together
A cocktail, as temporary as a mist
The truth will shine through
You think it positive
Think again
I give so much of myself
But it’s never enough
Pain turns to anger
As I fight these words
Shout them out loud
Going under
Killing me from inside
Want to so say it again?
Summarise life 101?
So yeah, there is no such thing as a happy ending
No happy ever after
Those are only fairy tales
Those are all lies
They are just a message in a bottle
Good luck convincing yourself otherwise.
