Drowning In a Pool of Emotions
looking puzzled in a daze, watching as the sky turns grey!
Trying to figure out exactly what to say, wondering why things have to be this way!
Millions of emotions running deep, overwhelming thoughts make it hard to sleep!
Fears beccoming nightmares, dreams feeling out of reach!
I can see happiness in the distance and i'm reaching out to grab ahold,
but its too far away! Trying to cope, waiting for the feeling of self worth to
overcome my feelings of worthlessness but with all the chaos and catastrophes
its like it isnt meant to be! Tons of anxiety makes it hard to breathe!
Thoughts of ignorance makes anger hard to hide!
Through visions of red and bloodshot eyes, I ask myself why God why?
Why can't we all just be at peace? Why can't we live without pain?
Why must we live our lives this way? Why cant we get rid hate of and fear?
Thats just it though, stop and think! It doesn't have to be this way!
You and me can change the world, look to God and say a prayer!
Ask for forgivness and pray for help, for a better world live by the Book!
