Take Away

Thoughts scattered Life erodes my heart Anxiety attacks When did it all start? An obvious wrong exists, but is hidden Reaching out for anything; Everyone’s forbidden I’m more alone Than ever before Beat, left for dead Deep bruises and sores I want to cry But I’m too bitter Too angry and sad I’m just a quitter Take it all away Take the pain The effort put in living has only got me drained Take it all Take me away Set the sun And end the day

Sometimes I feel that way too. I love the way you capture multiple aspects of an emotion. U make me feel that there IS a way to explain how I feel. You provide me with a great deal of inspiration. Again, Thank you. :'-)

A very sad write and I expect we have all been through something that made us feel this way. Sometimes we have to go through the pain in order to get to the light. Very well penned. Ghetto
