Happiness Forsaken

It's a pain that is oh so familiar to 
me now. The emptiness, it's no 
surprise. It comes on so suddenly. 
So high then low in a simple 
glimpse. There is no warning. It 
catches me when I'm weak. Rapes 
my mind, and leaves me oblivious to 
my well being. There is no cure. I 
have grown to believe it. My heart, it 
hurts and my eyes are burning. I 
blink and they all fall. My tears 
staining. I've hit an all time low, and 
I don't know how to reverse it. My 
brain is aching. Too much at once. 
My body can take so much. I'm at 
an overload. I don't know my own 
thoughts. There are too many. My 
feelings are unknown. God please 
reveal them to me, and relieve me 
before I break down. Bring the war 
in my heart at peace. I pray to you 
but it is like i am unheard. Where is 
my strength. I am overwhelmed with 
sorrow. I just want to be happy.
