Today is another day,
Another day of loneliness and isolation,
Another day of not feeling wanted,
Another day of chronic masturbation,

Today is another day of feeling tired,
Fatigued, old and unwell,
Another day of being tortured by my demons,
Another day of hell,

Today is another day,
Another day of being broke with no place to go,
Another day of hating myself,
With fresh cuts to show,

Today is another day the doctors phone me,
Phoning to either moan or sympathise,
Today is another day I say I’m ok,
Another day I tell them a lie,

Today is another day,
Another day my head screams kill yourself,
Another day of me contemplating suicide,
Another day of mental health,

Today is just another day,
The same as any other,
I have to wear my mask and face this world,
Instead of hiding under my bed cover,

My life is a struggle,
No matter what I do or say,
Hopefully tomorrow will be better,
But tomorrow is just another day.
