The End
My mind seeks peace
To put my soul at ease
The battle was long
The depression was strong
Found myself at the end of a rope.
Lost was my hope
For a long time I fell
Somewhere down a dark bottomless well
No one could hear Me yell
A silent scream , this must just be a dream
Life falls apart
Pain tugs my heart
Where does one go wrong
On this path that takes so long
To end up here
Tangled in all this fear
Out falls a silent tear
Down inside such pain I did feel
As the many layers Start to peal.
I think I can take no more
Crawling for the exit door
The pain passes me by
Sometime during my silent cry
The sun came out to brighten the sky
On hands and knees, bended back
I survive this attack
Stronger
Cause I stood so much longer
I emerge from the dark
No walk through the park
But here I am coming so far
Rising from the scar.
While stepping above my sorrow
I now have a new tomorrow
Stepping through the fears
Beyond the tears
And now strong of heart
Ready for that new start
