A Losing Battle
As i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i feel alone
I live in a place that is supposed to feel like home
The emotional disconnect captives my family
So many things to say and no time to say it
We’re losing our minds trying to keep it
So often we just barely keep our heads above water
Its hard to keep afloat with broken feelings dragging us down
The need to be understood causes us to drown
The ability to watch your spiritual death is a curse
To see everything you could do to make things better but only make it worst
I am buried in disgrace
I am entombed in depression
I smile with beautiful lies
The happy people are the ones that cry
The ones that have to turn the other cheek
The ones that could steal everyones attention but choose to be meek
Their smile belongs to every tear that disappears under their chin
Their smile is the price of love
I wonder why happy people don’t give up
