Agony and Tears

Just as a NOTE:  Some of the following stuff is very very hard to read.  It hurts to write, and it hurts to read.  Consider yourself warned!

Agony and Tears

When the darkness comes

My fear arrives

I often doubt

That I’ll survive

The terror that shows

In the darkest night

Is somehow still around

At the dawn’s first light

So I must drown

This pain and this fear

In a vial of cocaine

And a glass of beer

They tell that trouble

Is what this will bring

But sometimes I think

That the end justifies the means

And often I wish

That the end was near

To the things I see

The agony and tears
