Broken Pieces
The day before today, all hope ripped to shreds
daggers to heart, left bleeding, near dead
Standing in puddles, drowning in tears
caught up in webs of dark yesteryears
Fear, pain, demise, illusion
searching, hoping, praying, confusion
Loneliness strangles, steals ev'ry breath
stumble deeper 'n deeper into the abyss
Love, hate, tears, sorrow
seeking answers, maybe tomorrow
Memories resurface, chant unhealthy rhymes
can't decipher what's real, just frame of mind
Roots, family, foundation, home
somehow have vanished, left here alone
Life, death, future unknown
thinking, wondering, where will I go
A room filled with friends yet feel out of place
uncomfortable, frightened, tears staining face
Darkness embraces like some evil curse
shadows bring torment, strip of self worth
Emptiness hovers, heart has no song
mechanical being, all strength is gone
Wife, mother, sister, friend
something missing, no need to pretend
Happy, angry, afraid, sad
could it be I'm totally mad????
Like an old garment, splitting at seams
hurricane forces stealing all dreams
Caught in life's seaweed, trying to swim
waters thick, murky, pulling me in
Aloneness forsakes me,
yet...
I battle the fight
and day before tomorrow,
I'll see a new light
~*~
When life seems unfair and depression sets in,
remember to look upward and ask Him for help.
Then and only then, will you see light in darkness.
