Belong To Me

I’m tired
I’m depressed
I have no sense
Of happiness

My body weak
My bones are tired
I wish I could get away
If just for a little while

My health hindered
And my lungs closed
The food I put down
All arose

My sprit broke
My soul is sore
I cant stand being me 
Anymore

My eyes are closed
And my breathing slowing
My mind stopping
And my dreams are dying

The darkness of nightmares
Has come to stay
I never imagined it’d 
Be this way

So much hurt 
And all this grief
I pray and wish
It all to leave

I want someone to care
And hold me near
And have a place 
To shed my tears

Set all 
My demons free
And have a self
That belongs to me.
