See the Sun

I don't care about tomorrow 
I can't remember yesterday,
I don't know the last time that I didn't feel this way

I can't count the lonely nights
When I'm surrounded by myself 
And the only friend to comfort me is the bottle on the shelf

I wonder how the hell I've gotten here
Where did I go wrong?
I can't help but think that I've been broken all along

I can't count the friends who've left 
or the ones that are yet to go
Numbing the pain with mindlessness is all I have come to know

I haven't felt anything real for a long time
and hope is a distant memory
Still life continues to go on, it just continues without me

Hopeless, helpless, out of reach
Everyday's a fight
The blurry days are bad enough, even worse, the nights. 

I am struggling for the answer
I am searching for the cure
I look for God to heal me with his love, free and pure

My mind, my soul, my family
Everything's at stake
I don't know how to make it right and fix all my mistakes

Help me, heal me, hear my prayer
I don't know what to do
I know I can't go on like this, I give myself to you

Waiting for a brighter day
Maybe tomorrow is the one
That darkness fades and shadows clear so 
I can see the sun

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." Be blessed.

For 27 years it got progressively darker, but I’ve seen the sun these past 16. Cast yourself on Him, do whatever it takes. Hugs.
