I Am

I am pain, a tear drop in the rain
I am hurt, material torn, ripped, and burnt
I am depression, swallowed whole in separation
I am anxiety, making you scared and making you crazy
I am a nightmare that is here to stay
I am a flash back that won’t go away
I am a mood that clings to not let go
I am a touch that will turn you to stone
I am a feeling that will make you want to die
I am someone who doesn’t want to try
I am death that soaks in sorrow 
I am a far away place that sees no tomorrow
I am not Heaven -- I never made it that far
I may be Hell because life was just to hard

there are a lot of things that you may be but hell is not your reality.
