My Despair

My Despair

I’m trying to shake this uneasy feeling I’ve got
But I cannot seem to get it together this time
Never ending stress has taken its toll on my body
There is nothing I can do as the tears keep rolling

I feel the weight of hopelessness deep inside my soul
And the once abhorred idea of cutting sounds liberating
Perhaps just one slice or two will empty the emotions
There is nothing I can do as the tears keep rolling

If only I could sleep for days , for months, or even years
Something, some way to hide until this despair blows over
But the problems would only wait for the day I awaken
There is nothing I can do as the tears keep rolling

Somehow, through my tears of despair I have to find strength
The strength to face each problem as it arises, head on
Until then I’ll sit feeling sorry for myself in my blackened state
There is nothing I can do as the tears keep rolling

I don't quite know what to say so will give you my heartfelt {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}} and a prayer for a brighter tomorrow.

Thanks Z! I certainly could use it.
