The trouble that wants to overwhelm me
The trouble that wants to overwhelm me
likes beneath my tired chest and stifles me..
my eyes grow tired from the tears so I sigh..
troubles parade like beauties in a pageant...
each waiting their turn to stifle and drown me..
I sit forsaken alone and hopeless
seeking distraction from my problems in pages of irrelevant
A voice tells me these days are temporary.
I sigh and fight for another day to stay alive
