Unfair

Sometimes in my sorrow;
I get lost without a tomorrow
I let my mind sit and dwell
In this place; that's deeper than
The deepest well.

I find no peace or comfort there;
Sometimes this life; seems unfair
I need a rope to get me out
Tangled in life's deep, deep doubts.

I always seem to travel there;
I get lost in my despair
It's like the walls are closing in on me
Shutting me in, so I can't see.

Sometimes I need to shout;
What is this life all about
Please, won't someone answer me
Help me, please, with my complexity.

I need some light to filter through;
A helping hand, a rope or two
Sometimes life; just doesn't quite fit
It is not worth quitting; I need to sit.

James! Yeah, it's been staying around 40° - 50°, and the rains stay maybe a day. I'm glad the weather is broken, and soon I'll be able to get back to the woods where I do my artwork weather permitting. I feel like me in them woods. Best of Wishes, William

Hello, Darlene! Thanks for stopping by, to visit and comment, I appreciate you very much so. I have been in a depression that hasn't lifted for the past 6 months now. This has to be one of the worst I've seen outside the twenty-five years after my tragedy. I'm working on this, truly. Best of Wishes, William
