Caught Up

Somedays its hard to find the light The choice thats right Either black or white The never ending compromise can become a prison Bringing an unforseen demise As you bathe in all the beautiful lies And the soul within you cries and cries The tornado twisting in your brain Mixes your thoughts with all your pain And you feel your lifeforce drain And drain And tomorrow the cycle begins again You waken to a dawn to a light not real Even though it shines in your bed No warmth you feel, and with the day theres no new deal, Just the daily grind Another tasteless meal, Yes somedays its hard to find the light Where one true hope is burning bright Where a loving God Rescues you from your plight. And he hears you from a distant star in the heavenly night As you wish you may you wish you might Just be the twinkle in his eye That catches his sight The last hope you have as you say goodnight.

I marvel at the thought that it's just a little hormone at work in my brain—the world itself is often just the same. So I wonder, do I adjust the world or adjust my brain's reaction to it? Much of the time I can't do either. This poem is certainly heartrending, but it's cathartic to write, and it's why so many of us are here. Blessings.
