Scared

Looking at myself in the mirror 
tear stained face 
tears still flowing 
I can't stop 
My heart and head are screaming 
but I sit in silence 
I'm still running from the pain and hurt 
Pretending everythings alright to all who'll
listen 
Prtending to myself 
But its all caught up with me now 
the darkness is descending I can't find my
way.. 
I've left it too late and I have nothing more
to say 
Sitting boxes half packed to run once more 
I have no where left to go 
The more I want to start again the darkness
stops my flow 
The light is fading and I'm all alone 
my memories good and bad half packed in
obscure boxes 
Is that my life... 
They ground me down and now I can't get up 
drowning in my tears 
I can't get through it this time 
I can't fight anymore.. 
my head and heart are broken 
I can't stop the tears now 
I stop runninng 
I can't carry on I dont know how

Sad, depressed state to be in. Hope that it is just a topic not your life. Keep writing. Sara
