Distressed
if
i could find a way
to
ease the pain i feel
if
i could have a say
for
it all to heal
nothing
has any meaning now
all
days do blur into one
nothing
really there anyhow
when
all is said and done
whirling
and swirling all around
i
exist and nothing more
feel
like laying on the ground
rotting
to the very core
does
each and every beginning
from
which everything start
really
have any meaning?
do
i feel it in my heart?
sighing
and bleeding and weeping
vanishing
dreams all out of reach
feel
myself just slipping and sliding
rolling
off the edge of the beach
into
the
eddying fast current of water
the
riptide trapping and zapping
all
my strength as i start to falter
lungs
just drowning with water filling
do
not feel for me
sorrow
is my emotion
look
away and leave me be
in
all of my commotion
for
you, it is fear
afraid
of any hurt
and
costing you dear
and
yet it is all dirt
nothing
more and nothing less
to
give and give until no more
nothing
here and still no rest
what
is there? what's left in store?
another
night comes and go
another
day awakens then sleep
another
time comes creeping so
another
breathe taken deep
what
is
there really?
come
look out the door
it
really seems so silly
looking
down at the floor
faraway,
i wish i could be
to
run away is what i want to do
but
is that what i see?
no,
i'm stuck to this goo
so
if
i vanish someday
fear
not for me
i
might have found my way
the
peace i seek, you see.
