Today I Need

Today I am feeling bitter, 
resentment flavored with rage; 
My mind is spinning out of control, 
my emotions I can not cage. 

I find it hard to stay focused, 
on the very simplest tasks; 
I must find a way to smile, 
my feelings I must some how mask. 

Today I feel so much pain, 
unlike any I've felt before; 
As I've watched the woman I love, 
turn and walk out the door. 

She said she did not love me, 
her self some how she had lost; 
Our marriage it seems now is over, 
to her not worth the cost. 

Today I'm feeling hurt, 
Sad alone and blue; 
Today I need to find the strength, 
to some how see me through.
