Sad

Today I feel sad and depressed
I shouldn’t feel like this
The world around me is filled with bliss
But I feel lonely. 
I just want someone to hold me. 
And tell me that this isn’t the end. 
That life is beautiful
And worth to spend.
I write when I’m sad like this. 
Taking time to reflect, 
On the pain I’m trying to dismiss.
Along with people,
I’m sorry. 
I’m sorry I pushed you away,
I’m waiting for my brain to make the connection,
That you of all people is the right direction. 
Instead I shut down,
Just stay away.
The nervous breakdown is coming my way. 
Hide yourself from the hurricane. 
And watch from afar, me go insane.
I try and I try
To make paint blue skies,
But they turn to grey
And I continue to stray
Making me the prey
Of all dreary feelings 
Inside and out
I can’t take the doubt.
But here it is
On the lookout. 
Give me a chance.
I don’t want to hurt you. 
But knowing what is true,
You’ll leave me,
Before I’d ever leave you.
