Signs

In this life I live in sometimes I feel lost
What is life worth living and at what cost?
Time is ticking by, and I don’t know what to do
What are the signs to follow, what is really true?

I’m drowning myself in sorrow and I got something to confess
I wake up everyday sad and feeling depressed
The pain is so intense it burns like a fire
No matter what I do those flames seem to go higher and higher.

I’m always standing on my two feet, but I seem to be falling down
This emptiness and sorrow really make me drown
I’m always trying to not think of the hurt and pain I feel
What is the case? Is it fake or is it real?

Is there really something out there for me called life
Or is it like a poison like a stab with a knife?
Looking back to the old days when I had my dad there
He would always show me love and always really cared.

I’ve disappointed a lot of people especially my dad
I’m always dreaming of the life I could’ve had
No matter what it is I miss the old days that I had
Because no matter what I went thru I always had my dad.

I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain
To walk with me throughout my life until we meet again
Today God I ask as you’re listening up above
Would you go and find my dad and give him all my love?

This is a beautiful poem. When I lost my mom many many years ago I had the same feelings that you so sweetly expressed. Thank you for sharing.
