Hit the Brakes

Parts 2 and possibly 3 will come out tomorrow or this week... enjoy!! The other verse will be called Caught off Guard and the third - I have no clue yet! Enjoy reading this incomplete poem!: Reassure me that today will be a day with flavor and spice Unsure about my future, But I'll take His tranquil advice Le the rain pour forth ecstasy upon me Let me see where my wonder-filled dreams lead me Will it lead me back to the maze of bewilderment? I'm getting sick and tired of feeling this wrecked-up resentment Possibly, I'll not be caught up in the ocean of commotion I hope that I be free...but frankly, this fretful, foul rage will never leave me be Let me flow with the crowd... let me go with the flow Let me go and I won't make a peep of a sound - let my inspiration grow Someday, this lonely ghost will be out of sight Let us both seek the sun tonight Stray away from me, You Depression monster, it has caught me off guard! Stay away from me, You Deceptive creature, it has made me feel weaker and life is getting hard... Cease from making me feel vulnerable all the time I fell in love with danger in an outlandish land... It was getting out of hand...something was missing All the time you run, I can't keep pace with your heart beats Do me a favor and tell me straight-out without any sign of hesitation if I'm a heartless disgrace 'Cause, to be honest, I don't want to see your face...your face... You caught me off guard... I'm falling apart...trying to hold on to you Please share peace with me - it's something you shouldn't discard You're voice is failing me...my distressed heart cries out for you Cries out in reckless rue... Your shirt is inside out Just like your upside down life - but, then again, look at mine and you'll have no doubt That I have troubles of my own I can't help but frown...but don't feel down I won't smile for you I won't think highly of you I won't run the extra mile for you I won't sacrifice myself for you I won't gain any more interest in you I won't punish me for your mistakes... HIT THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAAAAAKES!! Reassure me that today will be a day with joy and gratefulness I have to wind down pretty soon...I know I have the strength to endure This hardship that hits me to the core - making me prone to distress Maybe if I pray to God, He'll be my everlasting cure I'm bringing the upcoming challenges and acting like a boss Sleep without waking up in alarm and be anxious for absolutely nothing I'm in the midst of affliction and poverty You still have some tarnished scars and gashes to patch up Frankly, my attitude stinks like rotten fish on a hot, summer day My night-wishes - not night-scares I hope! - come to life like a zombie, slowly getting out of its grave...creepily... I have to hit the brakes I can't keep on repeating the same cycle... I tell myself to stop falling into the pit of darkness, But, I'm emotionally drained - I'm sinking faster than the speed of light I keep on making the same mistakes I keep on committing the same selfish crimes Will keep on bugging me until I hit the brakes! End these fears and help me put on my faithful gears Oh Lord - have mercy on my sorrow-whelmed soul!
