The Other Half

No one knows the days ive spent
	Hearing those that arent there
	Seeing the faces of those who died
	A shadow without a care
	At night they come see me
	Those at work dont believe me
	Please Lord come and free me
	I would cherish the good times
	If only I can remember
	My mind is messed up
	Its gone from July to December
	I keep playing back those days
	Like its my own movie reel
	No one understands what I say
	Nobody knows how I feel
	Going from day to day
	One hour after another
	The seconds turn to minutes
	Everythings going by slower
	What hasnt slowed down
	Is my mind that keeps racing
	There is no track or route
	But its the same obstacles I keep facing
	Friends, family, and those who know
	Will never understand
	My mouth has tasted the fear
	My body has felt the pain
	My mind has played those tricks
	My eyes seen the horror...and shed a tear
	Cry for those I must
	There is not one thing I can do
	The tears a part of so much more
	They come from the God who loves you
	Take stock in what youve learned
	Cause there is no path but True
	Follow one step at a time
	And may God always Bless You

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.

An yes there is a storm..... I will never surrender my soul to the abyss ...... For mankind and our future..... I will find purity in the simple things that mean so much.......
