Breaking Up

Is my body breaking down? Is it in such disarray? What is going on? Why do I feel this way? My mind is in such turmoil Of all things going on I sit here and I wonder Do I want to keep going on? My memories always haunt me And the tears they come again My body feels so good to me Why is it breaking down? My pass has been a hell hole And if the future will look dim I will not want to stay here To me death is no sin. It wouldn’t really take much To end this misery Just a bit of rope or hose Or pills to make me sleep Then maybe it is nothing And I’ll tread through life again Threading oh so carefully Not trusting where its ends If I could just now, lie right down And die just right away Then peace would take my very soul I would not feel this way. If all the world could hurt some less And people could be true What a wonderous place for us to be For all of me and you.
