Its All Too Much

I’m so clouded in my mind,
I don’t know what I’m meant to find,
I feel so lost and so confused,
I don’t know what I need to lose.

My heart feels sick and my soul is black,
This heavy world is upon my back,
I don’t know how to bare this weight,
Or how to end my sordid fate.

Death seems to linger at my side,
His sent and touch I can’t abide,
And yet he wants to take my life,
But I won’t give up without a fight.

I try to think of blissful dreams,
Of happy thoughts and pretty things,
But darkness only sits and waits,
To take me to my morbid fate.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
