My Peace I Long For

Why does my mind get tortured at such great length
It stops your thinking and takes away your strength
I am empty for words and feel really so very weak
pain keeps coming like an old tap with a noisy leak
Having a place to go when your all chewed up inside
Taking you to peace and rest like a lay- by at roadside
 troubled  past horror's you would never have believed 
The cruellest of people that had to look after me
They never knew love only badness made for thee
You felt something missing in your lonely heart
Like you are longing for that special sweetheart
 never knowing what was coming, day or in the night
Nobody cared how far they went or how bad the fright
I just longed for that day for it all to stop and end
So never thought they could drive me round the bend 
I wanted it all to end or show me my own cliff edge
 one simple step takes me with angels over the final ledge 
Nobody could very start to understand their thinking
All I could very see was my will to live was shrinking
If there is any justice in this very cruel world of mine
So God please find me my place I dream to be Devine
