Blah
Lost in the blah blah blah
The darkness I saw
Feeling low
I know
The mind plays tricks
Trying to get in its licks
So adds another layer of bricks
Which way to go
I do not know
Sometimes I feel so old
Cold
The times I was told
I'm no one
The forgotten son
I do not know
Just help me grow
Gloom
Doom
In the unknown, terror does loom
My mind thinks the worse
My heart needs a nurse
Tell me I'm okay
I need a hug today
In every way
Rollercoaster ride of emotion up an down
Throw me a life jacket before I drown
So tired by the time for bed
Going to sleep but still locked in my head
Still fighting in my dreams
Am I as lost as it seems
I pull out, my inner strength
I must go the length
Each day
As I make my way
Towards the end of my race
I pray I keep my grace
So I stand tall
Refuse to fall
Even when my back is against the wall
So on I go
Because I know
Even though at times I feel so sad
Life is not really that bad
The good times I have had
The love I have shared
Remind me that people have cared
Not so alone as I have thought
What has life taught
For so long I have fought
The wrong fight
Lost sight
Wondered why I was here
I believe it is to rise above my fear
Mental health blocks my way
But I go on each day
Afraid to stop
I must stay on top
Or lose myself forever
To feel peace never
Lost in the darkness of my mind
Be kind
I find
Take life one day at a time
The words of my rhythm
Locked between each word
A plea is heard
Just a little further more
The darkness I ignore
One more step
For the times I have wept
Maybe there just ahead
Is the place my heart has led
Tomorrow
A place of no sorrow
Where my soul will be free
And all I see
Is the love
From above
