So Lost

Some times I get so lost when I’m alone The world is made of water and I’m a simple stone When I try to run, I fall straight down Now the weight of the world on my shoulders has a crushing sound Over my head in a dark part of the world Alone and drowning as my heart is so chilled I become washed up, crushed, cold and blue Life has become a struggle I can’t get through Other rocks come down hard on me Stuck in this gutter means they won’t let me be Each one makes a chip or takes a crack One day they will surely break my back I wish they would stop trying to kill metal with rust Have them all come at once and face me till I’m dust This new form of life I would gladly be! For dust in the water becomes sand by the sea Forever and ever after I would be so free The warm sunshine would be so heavenly In this world my pain would mostly subside But the Lord keeps me humble by bringing in the tide
