Giving up

I am down on my knees

I feel a need to weep

But within I feel drained and empty,

Working to hard, pressure piles upon me

It’s hard to see the woods for the trees,

It’s hard to rise when you when you feel so down

But we all play parts like playing a clown,

Trying to be happy when others are round,

Wearing a mask because it hides all the worry

But what do you care or think when you don’t know me,

I am just a soul who slowly drowning,

In a sea that is pulling me under

I cannot wait til it’s all over.

  1. It’s been a tough, tough two years hasn’t it? I hope having the ability and talent to write it out helps you. It always helps me too. And prayer. Nothing has helped me like prayer has. He’s the only one I can really count on
