I Cant Hold It Together

It’s haunting and taunting
The hours are daunting 
I stare at the clock
Just wishing, wanting

For what, I don’t know
This sadness to go
Or just some relief
To be a little less low

My skin is crawling
Anxiety, sprawling 
I’m trapped in my head
For help, I’m calling

Others get better
After bouts of bad weather
But I’m always in pain
Can’t hold it together

You're already showing the strength you have to hold it together Your composed of the same ability as everyone else to deal with bad weather Your ability to share feelings, emotions, thoughts is your tether As you read this reply, in those few moments I hope your burden is light as a feather Warmest regards A.
