Take This Away

Why do I keep trying to exist Why does this pain persist I can't seem to get a grip I wish from me my life would be stripped To have eternal peace seems like a heavenly notion A void just blackness no light no emotion The way it seems to continuously draw me in Yet stripping it myself is a sin I can't do it I can't let go I must keep going in a world full of pain this I know Tell me how to swallow pain when pain consumes me Tell me how to take a breath when it's so hard to breathe When it's too hard to stand I'm suppose to kneel Do you know how I feel Can u hear my cries Can u see these tears in my eyes Make the hurt stop make it go I plead For you I llive for you I breathe please peace is what I need Not the kind that stops fights and crime I need the kind that heals in time I'm broken inside and out Can't figure out what my life is suppose to be about I need you more and more every day Please consume me this I pray With your loving hands take this pain away

Good, emotive write - like therapy, huh? I felt the desperation for depression to be lifted, you took me there ... CayCay
