Every Time I Turn To You

Every time I turn to you for some help, Silence fills the air Every time I attempt to make out a yelp, I feel your despair And I don’t know why I had to go back to the hospital But, I will never, ever give up on myself – I’ll stand tall I can’t recall the times I’ve spent with my friends Every time I turn to you for some help, Silence fills the air Every time I attempt to make out a yelp, I feel your despair My heart beats rapidly – many have met their ends What about you sprinkle relief upon me? I apologize once again for not letting go of anxiety Every time I turn to you for some help, Silence fills the air Every time I attempt to make out a yelp, I feel your despair I promise to be a good person and be the difference I’d like to see on Earth…drowning in sorrow’s pool I’m fenced in by depression and I fell so far behind in school…oh, I’m such a fool Forever, I was warm in your arms – I owe you my reverence and a piece of His peace of mind Every time I turn to you for some help, Silence fills the air Every time I attempt to make out a yelp, I feel your despair Every time I turn to you for some help, I wish you wouldn’t give me such a vacant stare Every time I attempt to make out a yelp, I feel your despair…turn the positive music up just a hair I don’t mind, trying to dig for the treasures of tomorrow and simply unwind If only my mind can rest from daily worry… Sickened by the gloom of today and I’m cooling off my fiery fury I do mind, getting weighed down by the aftershocks of being left behind - 2014 poem (; I hope everyone has a wonderful brand new year of 2015! Sorry for such a sad poem. I will post more uplifting ones!
